TEXTS TO BE PLACED UNDER THE PHOTOGRAPHS 1. The "barlangó", typical plant of the Puszta. By the time of autumn's arrival, it dries up, the wind tears it out of the soil by its roots and rolls it on the Puszta 2. The crumbling banks of the Fehér-tó 3—4. The gathering-place of the lake's many kinds of water-birds 5. During dry summers one can wade across the shallow lake; later it dries up completely 6. During broiling-hot summers not only does the lake dry up, but its bottom even becomes cracked 7—10. Faces from the Puszta 11—14. Faces from the Puszta 15—17. Tanya-s on the Puszta 18—20. In springtime the waters rush together beside the tanya-s 21—22. At Tatársánc, on the good soil the tanya conceals itself among the trees 23—24. Underneath the large trees, the white-washed buildings give forth a romantic atmosphere 25—26. At Kakasszék there was still to be found some "kanfaros" tanya, but in front of the entry, the space underneath ("ereszalj") the eaves had already been built in 27—28. One of the windows remained in its original state 29—30. The facade of Füvesi-tanya is decorative, but behind the sheep-pen the horsestall, opening backwards, is of simpler construction 31—32. On Füvesi-tanya the building for storing corn gives the impression of a fortification 33—34. On Füvesi-tanya the horse- and cow-barns are separate buildings, and a carriagehouse and pigsty were also attached to the latter 35—36. At Fecskéspart, also, the small holdings needed several farm-buildings: granary with horse-stall and carriage-house; pigsty 37—38. On the alkaline land, that tanya is rare where there is also a tree which gives shade 39—40. On many tanya-s we find the doves' nests underneath the stable's eaves 41—42. The summer-, little-kitchen was frequently attached to the end of the tanya, it often was given space in more important buildings and then the oven was placed outside 43—44. Goose- and duck-feathers must be well dried out 45—46. The wall of the "hombár", used for storage of grain, was woven out of willowtwigs, rarely it was constructed out of slats. It could also be constructed onto other places 47—48. The doves built nests here and there, in the loft of the carriage-house 646
