a wagon road half the way, and then crossed by a trail over Kugart pass in the Fergana range, about 10,500 feet altitude, in the afternoon of July 1, and descended eastward, to camp in the valley of the (eastern) Kugart (figs. 67 and 68), a branch of the Narin, both the Narin and the Kara Darya being branches of the Syr. On July 2 we crossed the Oi-Kain pass eastward to a branch of the (eastern) Kugart, and camped at Urgas-Khan, a summer village of Kirghiz, in a grassy valley at about 8,000 feet elevation.
