In the dusty bazaar streets of Kashi, also known as Kashgar, Uighur hatred of Chinese authorities runs deep. Many here believe that more than 100 died fighting Chinese troops last spring in the nearby town of Baren.

W. L. Abbott visited the northern Tarim Basin in the autumn of 1893 (Richmond 1895) and F. Ludlow collected in the northern basin between Kashi (Kashgar) and Jam near Aksu between 17 November 1929 and 13 April 1930, and again from 15 to 29 September 1930, and also documented the observations and collections of G. Sherriff (Ludlow and Kinnear 1933-1934).
