steppe groups were measured by Rudeiiko, the Aktiubinsk and 

 Adaevsk groups by M. N. Komarova and L. K. Kornilov. Our in- 

 vestigations have covered in the main the Kazakhs of the Lesser 

 Horde; the Kazakhs of the Middle Horde were studied only in part. 

 The Kazakhs of the Naiman tribe, measured in the Chuiskaia 

 steppe belong to the Middle Horde. The number of individuals 

 measured is so small that Rudenko postpones any interpretations of 

 these materials until more substantial investigations of the eastern 

 Kazakhs have been made. Part of the individuals measured in Kus- 

 tanai canton belong to the Kipchak tribe, which also belongs to the

Middle Horde. The Kipchaks are one of the ancient Turkish tribes 

 of the group in which Rashid-ud-Din (fourteenth century) also 

 enumerates the Uigurs, Kirghiz, Karlyks, and other tribes. Long 

 before the Mongol invasions, the Kipchaks were a numerous tribe 

 wandering on the steppes between the Don, Volga, and the Urals, 

 and giving their name to the steppe (Dasht-i-Kipchak — "The Kipchak 

 Plain"). The number of Kipciiaks decreased greatly as a result of 

 great masses of them in the west becoming a part of the Bashkirs, 

 Nogais, Crimean and Volga Tatars, and of further groups of Kip-
