Ruin W of Tun-huang.
(bought at 6-7 tch., sold at II —I2 tchen per tou) to Kanchow, whence it will return with gaolyan tobacco (bought at 6-7 fen, sold at 17-18 per djin).
About a mile W of the Sindianza station a small deserted impanj is seen on the right of the road. On the left rise the ruins of a group of towers or rectangular columns of un-baked bricks, tapering slightly towards the top. They are placed as shown on the plan given below. Four are fairly well preserved, especially a and b, and approximately o the-
same size. The tops had fallen to pieces, but a still fmea

A E side of the columns there is a small aperture at a height

The road was also submerged for the greater part, the water having been released from Tun-huang. As it approaches the town, it cuts deep into the ground. -- The distance covered to-day is given as 7o li. Owing to numerous halts of indefinite length I was unable to calculate whether this was correct, even approximately.
