¹ The Yüe-chi were not snub-nosed Mongols, but big men with pink complexions and large noses, resembling the Hiung-nū in manners and customs (Kingsmill, *J. R. A. S.*, 1882, p. 7, of reprint of *Intercourse of China with Eastern Turkestan*). The Yüe-chi belonged to the Hu group of tribes, who seem to have been Iranians. The coins of Kanishka and Huvishka, as well as those of Kadphises II, present recognizable portraits. See Plates of Coins, *ante*.
