The boys' apparel is somewhat light, 76 WITH THE RUSSIANS consisting of either nothing at all, or of a shirt open in front. The women also wear sack-like garments, sometimes ornamented in front. The headdress is a white turban, and round the chin hangs a white cloth of the same material, en- circling the lower part of the face and joining the turban in front of the ears, which are entirely hidden. This refers only to the lower classes. The rich wear dresses of costly material, and caps of velve...t embroidered with beads. The wealth of a Kirghiz consists of his camels, sheep, cattle, and horses, and it is his delight to wander about over the immense expanse of steppe in search of fresh pasture for his herds and flocks. In former days these nomads roamed about at will, but now that the Russian Government has organised them in 'volosts, ' their wanderings are limited to certain tracts, each volost having a por- tion of territory allotted to it. In summer they live in ' kibitkas, ' large, circular, felt tents, resembling a beefsteak pudding both in shape and colour.
