*Yurt-chapghan,* June 21st—22nd 1900.
Desolate, nearly barren steppe region at the left bank of Lowest Tarim, just
above the point where the river enters the Kara-koshun or New Lop-nor. In the
neighbourhood of this place is Abdal, abandoned in 1900, well-known from Prshevalskiy's
visit in 1876.

*Mapik-köl,* June 23rd 1900.
A part of Kara-koshun. Altitude 816 m.
*Dunglik,* July 1st 1900.
Desert region 12 miles S. E. of Kara-koshun and Abdal. The ground consists
of clay dust. Vegetation hills protected by the roots of plants.
North. lat. 39° 18′, East. long. 89° 29′, Altitude 882 m.
*Tatlik-bulak,* July 3rd 1900.
A spring on the road from Abdal to the mountains of North Tibet. Around
the spring a vegetation belt. Tatlik-bulak is situated in a valley between comparatively
low mountain ridges. Above Tatlik-bulak there are some other springs. The whole
way up there is vegetation, though sparse.
North. lat. 39° 9′, East. long. 89° 55′, Altitude 1953 m.
*Bash-kurghan,* July 5th 1900.
A part of the valley in the lower region of which Tatlik-bulak is situated.
Springs and vegetation.
North. lat. 39° 4′, East. long. 90° 10′, Altitude 2629 m.
*Köl,* July 9th 1900.
Camping ground on the road to N. E. Tibet; is also called Chimen-köl. At
the foot of mountains. Open steppe to the N. E. The ground consists of yellow
clay and fine gravel. There is a little pool (köl) fed by springs.
North. lat. 38° 20′, East. long. 90° 11′, Altitude 3004 m.
The plant taken at this place, *Eurotia ceratoides,* is in Eastern Turkestan
called »teresken« (usually pronounced »teskene), and in Western Tibet on the road
between Yarkand and Ladak »yapkak«. In the region of the Kara-korum and on
both sides of the Kara-korum Pass this plant is nearly the only one to be found, and
is therefore sometimes the saving of a caravan. In spite of its hard, dry stem it
is eaten by ponies and mules.
