128 V. Ball — On Children found living with Wolves. [June, 



Endeavour should be made to obtain the following MSS — 



1. Tar'ikh i Iiashide, by Mirza Haidar Gurgani. It is a history of 

 Kashghar to the reign of 'Abdurrashid, king of Kashghar (16th century), 

 and contains interesting descriptions of Tibbet, Kashghar and Kashmir. 



2. TazTcirah Muqim Khani. — A histoiy of the Uzbak Khans of 

 Transoxiana. 



3. Any other history of the family of Chingiz Khan, especially of 

 more modern date. For the history of Kashghar during the 17th, 18th and 

 19th centuries we have no work whatever. 



4. A TazTcirah, or history of the literature, of Kashghar and surround- 

 ing countries. 



5. Nasahn amahs, or genealogical works on the tribes in Kipchak, 

 Bukhara, Kashghar, and Mughulistan (Mongolia) in general. 



A Collection of Coins, Plans, Photographs, and descriptions of Budhist 

 and Muhammadan antiquities will also be very valuable. 



Mr. H. BAvett-Carnac said that, as being a member who seldom had 

 an opportunity of attending the meetings of the Society, he had some 

 diffidence in making a suggestion. He quite thought with the President, 

 that the members of the Mission had been so well selected, that there was 

 little likelihood of anything of real interest escaping their attention. But 

 as the Government of India had asked the Society for suggestions, and as 

 suggestions had been made in some detail on one or two points, he (Mr. 

 Pdvett-Carnac) would ask that the members of the Mission might be 

 requested to gather what information they could regarding any tumuli, or 

 barrows they might pass on their journeys. It would be very interesting 

 to learn how far these tumuli resembled, both in their construction and 

 contents, those discovered in many parts of India, and it might perhaps 

 hereafter be possible to trace, with the help of an unbroken chain of these 

 remains, the inroads, at a very early date, of tribes from the centre of Asia 

 into India.
