They are returned at the com- mencement of winter — in excellent condition. I have been trying to buy myself a fur garment for my own wear, as, under the erroneous impression that the Szechuan climate was the same as that of the north of Egypt (the latitude of Chentu being 187 China as I Saw It nearly similar to that o£ Cairo), I have not brought anything of that kind with me ; but once again we are met with the unajiswerable argument, " This is the ' Ko Nien ' (New Year), no fur shops are open...."
