the population of whole towns speak nothing else. It would not he 

 difficult for the individual to go even to Pekin, in China. All that is 

 requisite is to get a pass from the governor, hy paying a few tenkehs 

 to the Chinese officers, giving out that his object is trade. My 

 informants stated, that some years ago, a European made his appear- 

 ance at Ydrhand, in a native dress. He was discovered accidentally, 

 and brought before the governor, who threatened him with torture 

 if he did not confess who he was ; but assured him that he would 

 be well treated, if he spoke the truth. He admitted that he was a 

 European, and was sent out of the country. 



The foregoing particulars were elicited from various natives of the 

 country, and at differeut periods, as they happened to arrive at Bom- 

 bay, in their way on a pilgrimage to Mecca. One of these indivi- 

 duals was a prince of the country, another a pirzddeh, both persons 

 of considerable education and information : the first was a native of 

 Auksii • the second had travelled to Badakshdn, Kurratigin, Dervdz, 

 and Kokdn. Another was an inhabitant of Eelchi, in Khoten. 



At the time this information was collected, 1 had not seen the 

 works of Lieut. Burnes, or Timkowsky, nor the papers by the Baron 

 Humboldt, and Monsieur Klaproth, in the Journal Asiatique. 



[t is remarkable, however, and perhaps, may add to the value of 

 this information, that the accounts given me generally corroborate 

 those of the above-named distinguished characters, with the excep- 

 tion of what Lieut. Burnes' informants told him respecting the troops 

 in Chinese Tartary being Tunganis, which mine say is not the case ; 

 and the reason given by them seems to prove the truth of their 

 assertion.
