KARASHAR. 165
apparently not worth cultivating, as we only
passed one small hamlet.
On July 24 we reached Karashar, which,
like all towns hereabouts, is surrounded by a
mud wall, and the gateways surmounted by the
usual pagoda-shaped towers.
We had to make a half-halt here, to dry
things which had been wetted in the rivers.
I went for a stroll round the place. Outside of
the walled city there are two streets running
down to the Karashar river, which is rather
more than half a mile from the walls. Near
the river were some encampments of Kalmaks
who were very like Mongols, living in yurts,
dressed as other Mongols, and wearing pig-
tails, the round coloured caps with a tassel,
and long coats. They are easily distinguish-
able from both Chinese and Turks. I ques-
tioned several people about the different races
of this part of Turkestan, and was told that
there were three different races the Kitai
(Chinese), Tungani, and Turks, and here at
Karashar were a few Kalmaks. The Turks
do not appear to be divided into tribes, but
are called by the town they belong to. The
Chinese call them Chan-teu (turban-wearers).
