Im verbotenen Land, auf einer Reise nach Tibet, und wie alle Wilden, haben sie einen windenden Forlikör. Das Innere von Raot bewohnungswar so primitiv und ohne Ausstattung, dass es kaum beschrieben werden muss, und die Gerüche, die von Thehütten ausgingen, sind auch besser der Imagina-tion des Lesers überlassen. Beim Betreten einer der Wohnungen habe ich mich um ein Feuer aus Holz sogew^Omen und Männern, die Frauen, die silberne Bangles und Glasperlen Halsketten tragen, gefirmt, die Männer sehr wenig mehr als Stringehringe. Nur einer der Männer hatte so viel wie ein diminutiver Lointuch, und das Wom

Entering one of the dwellings, I foundsquatted round a fire of wood somew^omen and men, the women wearing silver bangles andglass-bead necklaces, the men very little more than stringear-rings. Only one of the men had on as much as a di-minutive loin-cloth, and the women had scanty dressesof Indian manufacture, obtained in Askote. Scanning their features carefully, it struck me that intheir facial lines many points could be traced which wouldmake one feel inclined to attribute to them a remote Mon-golian origin, modified largely by the climate, the natureof the country, and probably by intermarriage.
