    "The wide sandy plain of the valley, some five miles long, which slopes imperceptibly down to Issik Pakhta, is overgrown with minute bushes. All the tiny streams we crossed unite to form the Alessun Gol, which then flows westwards to the pasture grounds of Kala Otlak. We observed dozens of herds of orongo, mainly females, with innumerable young. The landscape looked highly unpromising for agriculture yet I noticed that the folk of Bulaq Bashi planted grain. Four hours’ marching took us to within sight of Issik Pakhta Nor, which the maps also record as Khon Qum Nor."
