11 Qianlongchao neifu chaoben, 92 ;Da Qing huidian(QL), 619 : 741 – 42. There
is some confusion in secondary sources over the number of Khalkha

three northern Khalkha banners, as well as two“Khalkha”banners of an
unrelated group resident south of the desert (monan zhi ka-er-ka)anda
third“Khalkha”banner in Qinghai;Da Qing huidian shili(JQ), 637 : 2397.
One Qing source that lists a number of such potential confusions is Fu Ge,
“Tongming Menggu bu,” 33.
