from Bokhara, in the same manner as nowadays merchants from Russian Turkestan
who live and trade in the cities of Eastern Turkestan are called Andishanliks, from
the city of Andishan. Strahlenberg seems to refer the word to the Mongol word
khoto, town, as for instance in Koko-khoto, the Green City, as Kwei-hwa-chöng in
Shan-si is called by the Mongolians.¹
The form Kottonner is Swedish plural, and stands for the English Kottonians.
The same word enters in the Swedish title of the map: Carta af Songarski-
Kalmuckit, hwar under Kottonnerne hörer, or Map of the Dsungarian Kalmucky
to which the Kottonians belong.²
The cities which have given rise to this name are Kutzä (Kuche), Acksu (Aksu),
Utz (Uch-turfan), Kaschar (Kashgar), Iercken (Yarkand), Choton (Khotan), and Kiria
(Keriya). The hydrographical arrangement of the Tarim basin is perfectly excellent and
very nearly the same as on our own maps.³ It is far more correct than the repre-
sentation on No. 44 b in Stieler's Hand-Atlas for 1875, which shows the standpoint
of the knowledge before Prshevalskiy's second journey. I will only add that on Renat's
map the cities Yarkand, Khotan, and Keriya have each been placed one step too far
eastwards. For the river west of Iercken is Yarkand-darya, and at the place where
Iercken is entered, Choton ought to have been situated. The Tarim is simply called
Daria. Chaidu, or Khaidu-gol is there, and Schisken-toroij is Cherchen-darya.
South of the latter is the country of the Kossiauts and the Tanguts. Two
important geographical names are entered here: Gas, and Schidam or Tsaidam. A
lake in the same valley as that from which Cherchen-darya comes, may possibly be
Äyak-kum-köl. Renat has even heard of the gold in these regions, though he has
misunderstood the information he got, and places the gold-mines near Kiria, where
