During the Governorship of Liu Chin-tang certain lands at Payingkou in the Kinkarausu district were with the sanction of the Throne allotted to the Kunka Cha-lat san Hut'ukhta for the use of his disciples. In the 10th moon of last year, however, the said Hut'ukhtu cameo the provincial capital and at personal interview represented to Wei Kuang-t'ao that these lands were insufficient. to afford pasturage to his retainers and requested that an additional grant might be made of a tract lying in the same district, but adjoining the orders of the Suilai Hsien. Memorialist directed the Kinkarausu Sub-Prefect and the Suilai District Magistrate to hold a joint survey and report. This has been done and @ communication has been revived from the Hut'ukhtw to- the effect that after surveying the land with the two above named officials he has found a tract with good pastures and plenty of water and which does not interfere in any way with the settlements of the common people. In the Kinkarausu district it from Payingkou in an eastward for about 50 lias far as Yiichyatvai. In the Suilai district it extends from the borders of Yiiehyat'ai for a distance of 70 li as far as Taliangt'ou. Tis total length from east to west is about 130 li and its breadth from north to south from 50 to 60 li. This he seems tu think would suffice for his wants, and as in the report of the Sub-Prefect and the Chihhsien no objection is entertained to this lind being allotted to him, memorialist proposes to hand it over to him and will send deputies to mark off the limits and set up boundary stones.—Noted.
