the position of this must be looked for beyond the right bank of the Kara-shahr River.²⁰ Another passage of the Annals confirms this and clearly shows that the capital must have been situated close to the shores of the Baghrash Lake, which is said to have protected it, at least partially, from attack.²¹

It is true that this passage estimates the circumference of the locality where the capital stood (not Vicinity of the walled town itself) at 30 li, a measure much in excess of the actual perimeter of Baghdād-shahri. of lake. But, on the other hand, we have a very close approach to the two miles or so of the latter in Hsüan-tsang's statement that the circuit of the capital he visited was 6 to 7 li. That the site of Baghdād-shahri lies quite close to the marshy edge of Lake Baghrash is certain, though at the time of my visit it was difficult to determine the exact shore line on the shōr-covered flats extending to the south and east of the site, the lake being frozen at the time and shrunk to its winter limits.²² Chinese local opinion at Kara-shahr—whether based on tradition or on learned argument I could not find out—ascribes the ruined town to T'ang times, and the two coins actually found by me at the site distinctly support this view. But what appears to me to carry most weight are the topographical indications of the T'ang Annals and Hsüan-tsang, and the fact that no trace exists of any other ruined circumvallation by the western shores of the lake.

SECTION II.—THE 'MING-OI' SITE NORTH OF SHŌRCHUK

On December 11 I left Kara-shahr town and proceeded by the Korla high road to the little Arrival at station of Shōrchuk, some 16 miles to the south-south-west.¹ From it I visited on the same day ruins. the extensive collection of Buddhist shrines situated close on four miles to the north and known to the Turki-speaking Muhammadans by the general designation of Ming-oi, the 'Thousand Houses'. The site, which from the north-west is approached to within three miles or so by the scattered
