tains to a state where they were too dry to be inhabited by
nomads. As an historic incident, it is scarcely worth re-
cording; but it appears to typify events which have taken
place on a scale involving continents. During the last cen-

the new means of controlling nature which the Turfanliks
have found in the kariz have allowed the population to
increase in spite of unfavorable climatic conditions.
