_Baron-tala_, signifying the “Right Side,” _i.e._ the south-west
or south quarter, whilst Mongolia was called _Dzöhn_ (or _Dzegun_)
_Tala_, _i.e._ the “Left,” or north-east side. It is possible
that _Chigin-talas_ might represent _Dzegun Tala_ in some like
application. The etymology of _Dzungaria_, a name which in modern
times covers the territory of which we are speaking, is similar.
