KALKAS, or KHALKKAS

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 642 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JUN-KHA
KALKAS, or KHALKKAS , a Mongoloid
people
  mainly concentrated in the northern
steppes
  of Mongolia near their kinsmen, the Buriats. According to Sir H. Howorth they derive their name from the river Kalka, which runs into the Buir lake. Of all Mongolians they physically differ most from the true Mongol type (see
MONGOLS
 ). Their colour is a
brown
  rather than a yellow, and their eyes are open and not oblique. They have, however, the broad
flat
  face, high cheekbones and lank black
hair
  of their race. They number some 250,000, and their territory is divided into the four khanates of Tushetu (Tushiyetu), Tsetien (Setzen), Sai'noi'm (Sain Noyan) and Jesaktu (Jassaktu).
