be difficult, owing to thick tamarisk growth, and the search was fruitless. The Surveyor observed
no soil subject to wind-erosion. Hence the existence of any ruined site of the ' Tati ' type in this
region appears very doubtful. Nor did he discover any ancient remains on the long and trying
march to Kara-yulghun which occupied the next three days ; much trouble was caused by the
scarcity of wells, and by their brackish water. The experiences recorded by the Surveyor explain
why the desert route between Kuchā and Ak-su, although so direct, is seldom used nowadays,
except by men anxious to escape observation.
This route is probably that described in an itinerary of the T'ang shu, translated by Ancient
M. Chavannes,⁶ as connecting An-hsi 安 西 or Kuchā with the town of Po-huan 撥 擐 which route to
corresponds to the present Ak-su.⁷ It is apparently also the route that Hsüan-tsang followed Ak-su.
when, starting from Kuchā, he reached 'the little kingdom of Po-lu-chia' 跋 祿 迦, after
crossing a small sandy desert for 600 li westwards ; for a passage of the T'ang shu definitely
identifies Po-lu-chia with Po-huan.⁸ Hsüan-tsang's Memoirs furnish no details about the route ;
but the bearing and distance agree with the direct desert route, for the distance between the extreme
western edge of Kuchā cultivation and the eastern edge of cultivation on the side of Ak-su, marked
by the village lands of Jam (Map No. 12. A. 2), is approximately 120 miles. Neither the distance,
nor the mention of a sandy desert, can be reconciled with the only alternative route, that followed
by the present high road through Sairam and Bai. This is considerably longer and nowhere crosses
a sandy desert, as reference to Maps Nos. 17. A, B. 1 ; 12. A, B. 2 ; C, D. 1 will show.
In the itinerary of the T'ang shu we find a similar correspondence as regards the bearing and T'ang
the character of the district, though the particular stages mentioned cannot be located with certainty. itinerary
We are told that starting 'from An-hsi or Kuchā westwards one passes through the barrier (kuan) to Ak-su.
of Chê-chüeh 柘 厥 and crosses the Po-ma-ho 白 馬 河 or River of the White Horse', obviously
the Muz-art-daryā ; '180 li farther one passes westwards into the stony plain of Chü-p'i-lo 俱 毗 羅.
One passes the salt wells and at the end of 120 li arrives at the town of Chü-p'i-lo. 60 li farther
on one arrives at the town of A-hsi-yen 阿 悉 言. 60 li farther on one arrives at the town of
Po-huan.' Here it must be noticed, in the first place, that the total distance indicated, 420 li,
is considerably less than the 600 li recorded in the Hsi-yü-chi. Apparently the distance between
the entrance into the desert and the 'salt wells' has been omitted.
Allowing for this omission, one can account for the other measurements by the following con- Road
jectural locations. The distance of 180 li, if reckoned from Kuchā town, would bring us approxi- distances of
mately to the westernmost edge of Yulduz-bāgh cultivation, a distance of about 32 miles as the T'ang
crow flies. The 'salt wells' might well be placed near Afrāz-gul's camp at Shōr-yār (Map No. itinerary.
12. c. 2), where a spring supplies brackish but drinkable water close to a small stream wholly salt.
The 120 li thence reckoned to Chü-p'i-lo town would take us to cultivable ground where the map
(No. 12. B. 2) shows the small detached oases of Ulūgh-yār, about 25 miles to the west in a straight
line. From there to the present 'old town' of Ak-su is about 32 miles in a straight line, a distance
somewhat in excess of the aggregate of 120 li indicated by the T'ang itinerary to A-hsi-yen and
thence to Po-huan. We cannot, however, be sure that the chief place of the Ak-su district, which
the 'town of Po-huan' undoubtedly represents, occupied the same position as the present 'kōne-
shahr' of Ak-su ; and as cultivation is practically continuous from Jam village westwards, a nearer
position of Po-huan town, more in keeping with the road measurement given by the itinerary,
is conceivable. But in the absence of definite indications the exact location of the town of Po-huan
and of the intermediate stage of A-hsi-yen must evidently remain doubtful.
