Abstract
II. THE view taken by M. Moushketoff and other modern explorers of the region, as to the Aral-Caspian basin having consisted of several large lakes, or rather seas, connected together by outlets, is, in our opinion, the only one which can adequately explain the ulterior changes undergone by the basin during historical time; and it is also fully in accordance with the orographical configuration of the region. These outlets have gradually dried up, and it is probable that the Aibughir and the Balkhan outlets both existed during the historical period.
