from Urgenj had formerly flowed to the Sea of Aral or to the
Caspian. The account of Jenkinson, an English merchant
who came down the Volga to the Caspian, and thence to
Urgenj, in 1559, indicates, however, that it flowed to the
Aral. Jenkinson saw the mouth of the Uz-boi, and was
told that formerly the Oxus discharged there, but had lately
changed its course and gone back into the Sea of Aral. In
coming to the Uz-boi, the Englishman sailed along the east-
ern coast of the Caspian near Mangishlak, and found deep
water close to a shore where streams and trees abounded.
To-day, as Rawlinson points out, the water is so shallow
that no ship can approach the shore, and no one would
think of describing the coast as abounding in streams and
trees. This implies that the level of the lake was high.
A similar implication is found in the atlas of Ortellius,
dated 1562, which shows a deep gulf of the Caspian extend-
ing far toward Khiva — probably the Scythian gulf once
more.
After the days of Jenkinson, the Oxus appears never to
have flowed to the Caspian. Hanway, in 1743, and later
travelers merely heard traditions of the drying up of the
Uz-boi "a hundred years ago," or "long ago in the days of
our fathers." Even before the time of Hanway, when Kitab
Chelebi (Book Gentleman) wrote, about 1650, the fact of
the discharge of the Oxus into the Caspian was known only
from books and tradition. Kitab Chelebi, commenting on
the statement of Hamdulla already quoted, that the Oxus
in 1359 flowed partly to the sea of Aral and partly to the
Caspian, remarks: "There exists an arm of the Jihun
[Oxus] which, after having passed the capital of Khowaresm
