AN ACCOUN'I' OF TWO FAKIi:S.

The other Fakir, who was questioned by Duncan in August 1792, had travelled between Nepal and Kashmir and had also visited Maun Talaee, as far as which (the country) is inhabited, but not beyond it%%. He has nothing else of interest

to tell, except that »at the Maun Talaee the boundaries of four countries meet, viz. that of China, of the Lama's country, of the Beseher country, and of the Cooloo

country».

It is a pity that not many descriptions of the same kind as the first Fakir's

narrative should have been preserved to our time, to enable us to follow the hydro-graphical fluctuations and the periodical outflow of water from both lakes.
