of the Inchike-daryā, the main continuation of the Muz-art river, and also along those of the
lower Tārīm. This practice has distinct antiquarian interest, as I have already pointed out
elsewhere ;¹ for the Former Han Annals record early Chinese efforts to establish a military agri-
cultural colony in the territory of Ch'u-li 渠黎. This territory comprised the riverine tracts along
the lower course of the Muz-art river and the Tārīm to the east of Shahyār.
On the morning of May 3rd we resumed our march to the ENE., and passed more lately
inundated ground, still holding fresh water in pools. After proceeding about four miles we reached
another rough earthen circumvallation, resembling the 'Chong-shahr' of the preceding day. It
was of irregular oblong shape, measuring about 200 yards from north to south ; its ramparts rose
about 15 feet above the shōr-permeated soil of the enclosed area. The abundant grazing afforded
by reeds and scrub in the neighbourhood suggested that this and similar circumvallations might
have been constructed as places of temporary refuge for herdsmen and their flocks. But once
again no indication of date could be looked for.
Remains of Leaving this salt-encrusted ground and entering a belt of tamarisk-cones, we came upon the
Khitai- well-marked line of an ancient canal, running to the north-east and 22 feet wide at the bottom.
bāzār. After following it for about three miles we reached the site of Khitai-bāzār, where Mīr Sharīf
stated that he had carried out diggings and had found remains of paper manuscripts. We here
found ruins of small structures, mostly of timber and wattle, scattered over a plateau which had
apparently been formed by levelling old tamarisk-cones (see plan, Pl. 44). The ruins had been
almost completely destroyed, down to the wall foundations, by repeated burrowings, and had
previously suffered from wind-erosion. Near the northern end of the area, however, I was able
to make out the walls, built of rough slabs of clay, of what had apparently been a small cella,
measuring 11½ feet by 13 inside, and surrounded by an enclosing passage. On clearing away
some refuse to the east of this, we came upon minute fragments of paper, inscribed with Brāhmī
characters ; they closely resembled in type a fragmentary manuscript leaf with Kuchean writing
which Mīr Sharīf had previously shown me, stating that he had found it at this site. From this
archaeological evidence it seems justifiable to conclude that these badly damaged ruins are those
of a small Buddhist shrine and the monastic and other quarters once adjoining. They have perhaps
been abandoned since T'ang times.
Site of Practical considerations demanded an early return to Kuchā town ; I was therefore unable to
Khitai- visit the ruins of Khitai-shahri, situated about three miles to the north-east. They had already
shahri. been examined by Afrāz-gul, on the devious route which he had followed, under my instructions,
from Bugur to Kuchā. According to his careful report he had found there an oblong circumvalla-
tion, measuring about 270 yards by 156 as shown by the sketch-plan reproduced in Pl. 41. His
description indicated a close resemblance between it and the walled enclosure of Tonguz-bāsh
both as regards constructive features and state of preservation. The walls, about 26 feet thick at
the base, still rose in places to a height of about 18 feet. Afrāz-gul observed thin layers of tamarisk
brushwood interspersed at intervals of 2 feet 3 inches between the layers of clay used, in the form
of pisé and rough slabs or kisek, in the construction of the walls. Within the enclosure the
ground was permeated with shōr, and such remains of structures as could be traced, in the shape
of clay wall foundations or debris of Toghrak timber, had been completely overturned in the
course of burrowings. The same thing had occurred at two low mounds situated, as shown in
the sketch-plan (Pl. 41), to the north-west of the circumvallation, which had apparently once
carried structures of some kind. The shape of the nearer mound suggested to the Surveyor that
it possibly marked a ruined Stūpa. Beyond these mounds in the same direction he noticed
