channel, the Uz-boi, from north of Khiva to the Caspian.
The data given by Herodotus as to the Jaxartes do not
agree with those of his successors, which may mean either
that conditions were subject to change, or that the Father
of History, at a distance of fifteen hundred miles from the
Jaxartes, could not obtain exact information.
Aristotle, B. C. 348, the next authority on the Caspian
Sea, follows Herodotus strictly. A few decades later, Alex-
ander and his generals commissioned some of their subor-
dinates to study the geography of the new regions to which
the Greeks had lately penetrated. The geographers did not
visit the northern side of the Caspian, but confined them-
selves to the southern shore south of the Caucasus moun-

east. Aristobulus, the geographer of Alexander, is quoted
by Strabo as saying that in the fourth century before Christ
the traffic from India came down the Oxus River to the Cas-
pian, into which the river apparently flowed; crossed the
sea; went up the Cyrus River to its head; down the Phasis
to the Black Sea, and so to Europe. A little later, about 300
B. C., Patroclus, the admiral of Seleucus, made a survey of
the southern coast of the Caspian. According to his ac-
count, the Oxus and the Jaxartes rivers both entered that
sea, the mouth of the one being two hundred and forty miles
from that of the other. To-day, both streams enter the Sea
of Aral, their mouths being about as far apart as they were
in the days of Patroclus. Under the present conditions of
water supply, it might be possible for the Oxus to flow to
the Caspian Sea without entering the Sea of Aral; and even
the Jaxartes might possibly pass the Aral depression with-
