mild. It was not till the end of November that the inspir-
ing coolness of autumn changed to the dulling cold of
winter. On the whole, the climate of the floor of the Lop
basin is excellent. The extremes are neither debilitating
nor deadening; the dry air and the freedom from sudden
changes make it healthful; and during certain seasons it
is stimulating. Its chief drawbacks are the monotony, and
the dry, parching heat of summer. One always knows
what the weather of to-morrow or next week or next month
will be; one is rarely invigorated by a clear day after a
storm in summer; and one never has the stimulus of sud-

character and appearance as a whole, the latter can, per-

Indeed, except for the accident of the absence of water
for the last few million years, since the Cretaceous or early
Tertiary era, it has all the qualities of a basin such as
that which holds the Mediterranean Sea. For age after age,
a great block of the earth's crust — the basin floor, corre-
sponding to the floor of the sea — has been slowly settling

thing, the plateaus have been lifted up, and the floor has
moved but little. At the west end of the basin from Keriya

Bai, or Kucha, the dislocation between the plateau blocks
