of which Tashkend alone has a population exceeding
80,000 souls, thus taking the seventh place according
to number of its population of all the towns of the
Russian Empire, and coming after Petersburg, Moscow,
Warsaw, Odessa, Kishinef, and Saratof. O f other
Turkistan towns 5 have a population of more than
20,000, 4 of 10,000, 5 of 5,000, 4 of 3,000, 2 of 2,000,
and 5 of 1,000. The number of villages, so far as
is known throughout the country, is 3,171.
Among the varied races mentioned above, there
are found, of course, great varieties of ethnological
interest, to which I shall refer hereafter; but having
now described certain features of the general government
of Turkistan and the Syr-daria oblast, I shall
proceed to describe briefly how the Russians obtained
a footing there.
