The Emba, which flows through the north of the Ust-Urt plateau, reaches the Caspian by a series of shallow lagoons, which were navigable in the l8th century. The climate is influenced by the Central Asian steppes. A cold and dry winter is succeeded by a hot and still dner summer, during which the grass, and sometimes all the crops, are destroyed by the burning heat. Uralsk, although lying wholly to the south of 5'° N has the same average yeariy temperature as Moscow and south Finland (39°-5); i...ts January is colder than that of north Finland (3°). while July averages 73 . . The estimated population in 1906 was 730,300. It consists 01 three different elements— Ural Cossacks, who constitute about one-fifth; some 15,000 Russian peasants, and Kirghiz. Ihe Kirghiz are almost entirely dependent on pastoral pursuits. 1 he Cossacks, descendants of those independent communities of free settlers and Raskolniks who are so often mentioned in Russian history under the name of Yaik Cossacks, owing to their unwilling- ness to submit to the rule of the tsars, are fine representatives of the Great Russian race, though not without some admixture of latar and Kalmuck blood.
