[Urgenj or Khiva], enters a narrow rocky valley called by
the Turks Kerlawa [the Kerlawn of Abdul-Ghazi]. This
arm afterward forms a cataract, where it falls with a fright-
ful noise. According to Hamdulla, this arm of the Oxus
discharges into the Caspian. . . . Ebn-Haukal and Abul-
feda [both about 1300 A. D.] say that the embouchure of
the Jihun is in the lake of Aral, but we may believe that it
is only the principal branch of the river of which those
authors have meant to speak."
Kitab Chelebi speaks only as a commentator, and adds
nothing to our knowledge of the relation of the Oxus to the
Caspian, except in one respect. His mention of a cataract
or rapids in the Uz-boi channel is in harmony with what has
been recorded by modern geologists. Several observers, to
quote Davis, "have noted that the gentle southwestward
descent of the channel is broken by the sills of rapids at sev-
eral points, from which it may be inferred that the stream
by which the channel was eroded did not endure long."
Moreover, the Uz-boi channel is "decidedly smaller than
that of the Amu to-day," from which it may be further in-
ferred that it never carried the whole stream of the Oxus,
and far less the combined Oxus and Jaxartes.
After the time of Jenkinson, A. D. 1559, the level of the
Caspian still remained high, although, as we have seen,
there is no evidence that the sea was reinforced in any way
by the Oxus. A sketch made in 1638 by Olearius shows that
the sea stood then at the third tower of the wall at Derbent.
Brückner says that "according to Khanikof, there is even
to-day a clearly visible horizontal line of disturbance like an
old strand, the same on which the sea of the representation
