habitable portion of the westernmost Kuruk-tāgh has been mentioned above and is subject to no
doubt.² Against the plain evidence of this bearing and of the topographical indication furnished by
the passage of the *Wei lio* to be presently mentioned, no importance can be attached to the distance
of 500 li which the *Ch'ien Han shu* notice records between Wei-hsü and the seat of the Governor-
General; similar manifest errors of distance reckoning can be proved more than once in the
'Notes on the Western Regions'. We are told that Wei-hsü contained '700 families, comprising
a population of 4,900', figures which, whatever their intrinsic value, seem reasonably proportionate
to the 4,000 families and 32,100 people mentioned by the same text for Yen-ch'i or Kara-shahr.
The Annals of the Later Han do not specify the position of Wei-hsü, but mention it along with *Wei-li*
the kingdoms of Yen-ch'i, Shan, and Wei-li among the territories by the punishment of which in located on
A.D. 94 the Protector-General Pan Ch'ao completed his pacification of the Western regions.⁴ We Konche-
receive a more definite topographical indication in a passage of the *Wei lio* (composed between daryā.
A.D. 239–65) which describes the 'route of the centre', discussed by us before, as passing from
Lou-lan to the kingdoms of Wei-li, Wei-hsü, and Shan, 'which all depend on Yen-ch'i'.⁵ In view
of the geographical order in which the *Wei lio*'s description of the route proceeds we are justified in
placing Wei-li 尉 犁 between Lou-lan and Wei-hsü, and with this all other indications concerning
Wei-li fall exactly into line. The Former Han Annals' notice of this territory clearly states that it
adjoined Shan-shan, i.e. the Lop region, and Chü-mo or Charchan on the south.⁶ At the same time
we are told that Wei-li lay 240 li to the west of Shan, or the territory of the westernmost Kuruk-
tāgh, being thus slightly nearer to it than Wei-hsü. These bearings and that of Ch'ü-li, to be
discussed presently, which lay to the south-west of Wei-li, necessarily take us to the tracts which
stretch along the Konche-daryā below Korla approximately as far down as its present junction with
the Tārim near the large village of Tikenlik.
My journey of 1915 along the Konche-daryā showed me the extensive area of cultivable and Present
easily irrigated lands which stretches from the left bank of the river below Konche (Map No. 45, cultivation
D. 3) to the foot of the Kuruk-tāgh hills, and which the Chinese have in recent times endeavoured near
to colonize as the new district of Kara-kum or Konche.⁷ The surveys made on the same journey Konche-
to the north-west of Tikenlik showed also the number of small agricultural settlements which have daryā.
sprung up recently along the branching beds of the Tārim and the Inchike-daryā, in spite of the
difficulties caused by riverine vagaries. In view of these observations I think we can safely identify
Wei-li with the large cultivable, though at present very imperfectly developed, area just described.
Its natural boundary northward is likely to have been the belt of low barren terraces which juts out
westwards from the foot of the Kuruk-tāgh near the village of Shinalga, and which at present divides
Kara-kum from Korla. In agreement with the relatively great extent of the area indicated, we find
that Wei-li is credited in the Former Han Annals' notice with a larger population than Wei-hsü or
Korla, viz. 1,200 families and 9,600 persons.
