BARSKUL, ‘Leopard-Lake,’ is named in Sanang Setsen (p. 217), but seems
there to indicate some place in the west of Mongolia, perhaps the _Barkul_
of our maps. This Barskul must have been on the Manchu frontier. [There
are in the _Yuen-shi_ the names of the department of _P”u-y?lu_, and of
the place _Pu-lo-ho_, which, according to the system of Chinese
transcription, approach to Barscol; but it is difficult to prove this
identification, since our knowledge of these places is very scanty; it
only remains to identify Barscol with Abalahu, which is already known; a
conjecture all the more probable as the two names of P”u-y?lu and
Pu-lo-ho have also some resemblance to Abalahu. (_Palladius_, 32.) Mr. E.
H. Parker says (_China Review_, xviii. p. 261) that Barscol may be Pa-la
ssu or Bars Koto [in Tsetsen]. ‘This seems the more probable in that Cauly
and Chorcha are clearly proved to be Corea and Niuch?or Manchuria, so that
Bars Koto would naturally fall within Nayan”s appanage.’–H. C.]
