ABSTRACT

THOUGH, as we have said, the genealogies of the last few Jenuyes are not recorded, yet it will be observed that from first to last they were all, so long as the Chinese annals keep the run of them, direct descendants of the great conqueror Baghdur. Amid all the revolutions and civil wars, there is not the slightest hint of the succession having ever gone out of the royal clan. Thus, from Baghdur to Okyenküte all were sons, brothers, or nephews of their predecessors. Khughanja the First was Hülügwengü's son; and Khughanja's six sons succeeded in strict seniority of years. Khughanja the Second was undoubtedly the most legitimate heir, and his successors were, firstly, two brothers, and, secondly, six sons of himself and those brothers. Then come five grandsons, bringing us up to A.D. 141, or just 200 years for the three generations of men. It does not appear exactly who Kiangü was, but Uvura and Khudjuzen were his sons, and there is no reason to suppose that between 141 and 179 the regular order of things was broken. Of the Northern Jenuyes we have no record whatever.
