“ Arranging apples on saucers are the maids of Khotan-Ilchi. 
“ Eating many currants and grapes are the maids of Ujat (of the Ujat- 
[liqs).

“ Wearing felt caps, with foreheads wide ( or high) are the maids of 
[Sariqol. 
“ Snub-nosed, (but) sweet-tongued are the maids of the Kirghiz.” 
The reference to the foreheads of the Aryan Sariqolis is interesting. 
After the foregoing portion of this note was in the press, I came 
across a passage in the later part of the Tazkiratu’l-Bughra which settles 
the question about the religion of the TIjat-liqs , and shows them to have 
been Musalmans, though had ones. It is as follows : 
♦♦ '

“ He said: 1 Oh my king ! there is a set (?) of people called Ujat. 
The people of that (? place or tribe) are Musalmans with their tongues, 
but their (real) religion is spying. Having spied they have sent letters 
after the infidels who have fled (lit. they are in tongue Musalmans, in faith 
doing espial, they have sent &c.).’ Thus he represented to the holy 
Imams.” 
This character of spies and traitors is that in which the Ujat-liqs are 
represented each time in the Tazkiratu’l-Bughra. With this agrees the 
popular saying regarding them recorded in the note to the original passage 
(Ext. XV. above). 
In a versified account of the same events as are recorded in the latter 
part of the Tazkiratu’l-Bughra, I find the following parallel passage : 
«« ^

u He said : £ Oh king (possessed) of good qualities, we have a village which 
they call Ujat; 
In appearance they assent to the (true) Faith, but in their hearts they 
have much enmity.’ 
They (the Imams) replied : £ If the people of Ujat be so, they will not 
obtain salvation in both worlds.’ ” 
In the same book I find the following verses which identify the my-
