ABSTRACT

A WEEK before Christmas I started from öreget with my two Chinese servants. Pack-horses were laden with the collections resulting from our stay with this interesting Mongolian tribe. The leave-taking of my Torgut friends was cordial, and Seng Chen’s farewell words to me were that I must come back soon, so that I might learn to know the Torguts still better and that he himself might hear more about my people.
