In Eastern Turkestan the chief town is YAEKAND (120); the native Mohammedan city is overlooked by a great Chinese fortress with a strong garrison since its subjugation in 1878. In Kashgar large quantities of cloth are woven from the marvellously fine wool of the country. Khotan is prized xii PROVINCES OF THE CHINESE EMPIRE 187 by the Chinese for the precious jade pebbles which abound. All the towns are situated on streams running east from the great mountainous amphitheatre, of which the Pamir ...occupies the centre, to join the Tarim Eiver.
