The poppy crop is also over. At five miles we rounded the end of a low spur running down from the Tian-shan, and passed over a level valley covered with scrub, but uncultivated. A tremendous wind was blowing, making our progress very slow, so we halted at 1 1 p.m., at a solitary inn, sixty li from Turfan. July 19. — Started at 3 a.m., still crossing the plain, gradually approaching a line of cultivation to our left Halted at 8.30 a.m., at Toksun. This is a small town, or rather two small towns,... both walled, each about a quarter of a mile square, and half a mile apart There is a small garrison here, probably four or five hundred men. The shops are small. Here and at Turfan grapes and melons are very plentiful. The Turfan grapes are very good, and nearly equal to those grown in English hothouses. They are large, very fleshy, and full of flavour. One kind is elongated, and some of them are one and a half to one and three-quarter inch long. Started again at 3.40 p.m., in a southerly direction.
