Baron Huraboltlt, iu his work on Central Asia, speaking of the observations of M. Platon de 

 Tchihatcheff, in the region northeastei'ly from the Caspian Sea — lat. 40° to 51°, and long. 52° to 

 5()° — says that from December 1st, 1839, till Api-il 1st, 1S40, a period of 121 days, the wind blew 

 for more than 79 days, generally from E.N.E. and N.E., sometimes from the east.' 



Chevalier Kahnikoff in a private letter gives a description of the winds of this region, of which 

 the following is a translation : — 



"Having compiled the journal^ of travels in the Kii'ghiz Steppes, between the Caspian Sea, Aral 

 Lake, and the Mouhogjars Mountains, from 1826 to 1841 inclusive, I find the resultant direction of 

 the winds over this region to be S. 89° 12' W., and its ratio .307." 



"At the east of the Mouhogjars Mountains {i. e. east of 75° from Ferro"), N.E. winds pre- 

 dominate, a fact that appears not only from direct observations, but also from the instinct of animals 

 that burrow, very common in this part of the Steppe, which always open their holes towards the 

 southwest, so that the prevailing N.E. wind may not fill them with sand. This direction is the 

 prevailing one as far as the meridian and latitude of Bokhara, as I have shown by my observations 

 in that city, published in Humboldt's Asie Centrale."*
