[33] [The Pri-Amur is the Russian Amur Province situated on the north side of the Amur River.—Ed.]

[34] [This evidently refers to the Orenburg-Tashkent Railway, completed in 1904.—Ed.]

[35] Our troops on that occasion numbered 2,000. It was an insignificant affair, in which we only had forty-three casualties.

[36] Seventy-three miles from Kushk fortified post.

[37] [Sic. ? Pan-Islamic.—Ed.]

[38] [Galicia.—Ed.]

[39] [So-called Chinese Turkestan.—Ed.]

[40] Not far from Lake Lob Nor (discovered by Prejevalski), into which the River Tarin flows.

[42] We had three rifles—the Berdan, the Krink, and the Karl; most of them were Krink, converted from the “six-line rifle.” The Turks’ Peabody was a far more perfect weapon.
