Tlre local resollrces of this \vester~~lnoat. ontport of China 1,rol)cr were of special iniporta~~ce during the early periotl when tlre Loptlrsert route, protrrteci in I,a~.'t by the r 1 I on-1111ang /,~'I/I~..V. served as tlre clrief line of trattic ir~to Central i\si:c.

The facilities Irere for irrigation by the Su-lo-lro are limited, and thns are also the extent and c~conornic i~rrl~ortatlce of tlre oasis. Finally in the south extend the utterly barren foothills of tlre Nan-s11a11. Tlre ontermost. chain, immetliately so11t,11 of Ton-lrira~~g, is co~llpletrly o\~erlairr 1)y lliglr ridges of drift-sand \vl~irl~ have given tlre town its later name of Shrr-c-ho~r, ‘the Cit,y of Sa~rds'. Ilelri~rd tlris o~lt,rr Ilill-chai~l a wide ~llateau, mostly bare gravel \vaste, slopes up totvards the well-tlelirlcd second low iaoge (D. 4) \vithin which lies tlre small oasis of Tun?-pa-t'u.

Of the ~norphological connection between tile two I ant unable to form any definite view. The ground around the small oasis of Nan-bu (A. 1 ) was explored by me in 1907 and the 11igh plateau above Sliih-pao-ch'sng ( D. 1 ) visited in the same year. The survey of the intermediate area was made by R. B. Li1 Sing11 in 1914. A description of the Nan-IIU oasis, which is of some antiquarian and historical interest as marking tlre position of tile ' Ynwy barrier' of tlie aicient Chinese border-line, is given in Besol Call/ny, ii. pp. 7 1 sqq. The hibtorical topography and physical features of this ground have bren fully treated in S~n'ndia, ii. pp. G 11 sqq. NOTES ON SHEET No. 39 (NAN-HU) The positions adopted for Tun-huang and An-hsi in Sheet No. 38 anrl the adjusted traverse of the Iciyh-yol from 3lirin to the former place served as a basis for the compilation of the plane-table work. Resides the observed latitude of Nan-hu, the astronomical values for Ch6ien-fo-tung ( No. 38. B. 4 ) and Shih-pao-clr'Gng ( No. 41. A. 1 ), places falling just ontside this sheet, offered a useful check. The deep-cut., and for a considerable distance wl~olly inaccessible, valley of the Tang-110 or Tnn-huang river divides the surveyed area into two portions, both closely allied i11 cl~aracter. In the western one the great gravel glacis holds a basin with fertile loess soil, and irrigatdion supplied mainly by subsoil drainage permits limited cultivatior~ here under conditions closely resembling
