about two miles from camp. It was winding from N. to SE., i. e. in the direction of L.M. and L.K.,
whence its probable continuation had a year before been traced clearly enough.¹⁷
The whole of the day's march lay across ground covered by high dunes. Wind-eroded trenches Marches
were met with in places during the first portion of the march, but no regular Yārdangs. Dead across high
tamarisk-cones and Toghraks, too, were frequently sighted in depressions between the dunes. dunes.
The map shows the places where high 'Dawāns' of sand up to 70 feet in height and running
approximately N. to S. were encountered. Some 9 miles from L.R. a small fragment of iron and
some pottery debris attested the passage of man within historical times. On the march of March 10th
the sandy desert crossed retained the same difficult character. In at least three places lines of
dead wild poplars emerging from the sand seemed to mark former courses of water coming from the
side of the Kuruk-daryā. But owing probably to the height and closeness of the dunes no definite
beds were noticed. Small pottery debris and a bronze fragment were picked up about 10 miles
from Camp ccxlviii. a. A couple of miles beyond a big 'Dawān' of an estimated height of over
100 feet was crossed.
Near Camp ccxlix. a. Afrāz-gul's survey shows an old bed coming from the west, marked by Yārdang
lines of dead Toghraks. The presence of water at a period not too remote was indicated also by belt along
plenty of dead reeds and tamarisks. Farther on Yārdangs became increasingly frequent between Kuruk-
the dunes, a distinct change indicating approach to the wind-eroded riverine belt of the Kuruk- daryā.
daryā. Here between 3 and 4 miles' distance from camp there were picked up in succession first
fragments of a Chinese coin and then miscellaneous small stone implements and potsherds (C.
ccxlix. a. 02–11). One more big sand 'Dawān' was crossed before entering the zone of closely
packed Yārdangs, almost clear of dunes, stretching along the Kuruk-daryā where it skirts the gravel
glacis of the Kuruk-tāgh. This ground proved as difficult for the camels as that encountered
around the Lou-lan station, L.A. Their exhaustion obliged Afrāz-gul to halt as soon as the main
bed of the Kuruk-daryā was struck. It measured here about 100 yards in width and 20 feet in
average depth.
Resuming his march along it on the morning of February 12th the surveyor, after covering
about 3½ miles, came upon traces of R.B. Lal Singh's passage the year before. Having crossed to
the north of the river-bed for the sake of easier going he then came, among the Mesas to the north
of the graveyard L.T., upon my own party's footprints and then upon the track we had followed on
the march from Yaka-yārdang-bulak. Our happy reunion which followed next day has already
been related above. The brief record here presented of Afrāz-gul's surveys on this journey will,
I hope, suffice to explain the warm appreciation felt by me for the admirable skill, perseverance,
and pluck with which he had carried through his difficult task.
