Section V.—ACROSS THE ANCIENT DELTA OF THE KURUK-DARYĀ

Start for
Lou-lan
station.

On the morning of February 9th we set out north-eastwards from our camp at L.M. in order
to gain the station of 'ancient Lou-lan', L.A., which I proposed to make our base for the explora-
tions immediately ahead. The route that was to take us there was a new one, and the ground to
be traversed of distinct geographical and antiquarian interest. My first crossing of it in December,
1906, had furnished good reasons for the belief that this belt of wind-eroded desert, about 30 miles
wide, belonged to an ancient delta of the Kuruk-daryā. While our former route lay almost due north
from Camp 121, a point east of L.K., the new one, which I chose with due regard to the relative
position indicated by the plane-table for L.M. and L.A., led from the south-west to the north-east
(Map No. 29. c, D. 4). It thus afforded a welcome opportunity to test, by the evidence of fresh
and independent observations, the conclusions previously arrived at. When discussing in Serindia
the peculiar topographical character of this ground and its geographical interpretation,¹ I was able
to avail myself of the main facts brought out by the fresh evidence obtained on my later journey.
This, however, is the place to describe in detail the observations on which that evidence is based
and which the map can but imperfectly record.
