Wylie in the "Journal of the Anthropological Institute," August, 1880. Mr. Wylie says: "Although we may not be able to identify Shen-shen with certainty, yet we have sufficient indications to give an appropriate idea of its position, as being south of and not far from lake Lob." He then goes into an exhibition of those indications, which I need not transcribe.
I often found in monasteries boys and lads who looked up to certain of the monks as their preceptors. Compare what is said in chapter ii of the dress of the people of Shen-shen. The snow rests on them both winter and summer. There are also among them venomous dragons, which, when provoked, spit forth poisonous winds, and cause showers of snow and storms of sand and gravel.
It is a long way north and west from Lan-chow, and not far from the Great Wall. ~On to Shen-shen and thence to Khoten~ After travelling for seventeen days, a distance we may calculate of about 1500 li, the pilgrims reached the kingdom of Shen-shen, a country rugged and hilly, with a thin and barren soil.
