Rest on river Naryn.

“The best place for a settlement would be at the grave of Saryk, opposite the source of the western peak of Char-Karytma; arable places are close here, down the river; and hayfields - up. On the 20th I stopped at Naryn almost opposite the Char-Karytma gorge itself (Kyzyl-su near Osten-Saken) (Sertum tianschanicum, p. 24); its valley here, except for the irrigated fields, is dry and barren, a little more food for detachment cattle was found on the island between the main channel of the Naryn and the oxbow lake, partly dried up. Immediately closer to the main channel and a wood of sea buckthorn, willow, willow and low crooked speck; the trees still retained almost all of their leaves, already strongly yellowed on the sedge, on the sea buckthorn they were still grayish-green, as in summer; mature sea-buckthorn berries attracted many small birds (Produced in Chon-burundy)."
