[A] Marco Polo nowhere calls the river "Gold River," the name he gives it is Brius.

- H.Y.

[2] Baron Richthofen, who has travelled hundreds of miles in his footsteps, considers his allowance of time to be generally from 1/4 to 1/9 greater than that now usual.

[3] See Quatremere's Rashiduddin, pp. lxxxvi.-xcvi. My quotation is made up from two citations by Quatremere, one from his text of Rashiduddin, and the other from the History of Benakeli, which Quatremere shows to have been drawn from Rashiduddin, whilst it contains some particulars not existing in his own text of that author.

[4] The title Chao in Nan-Chao (infra, p. 79) is said by a Chinese author (Pauthier, p. 391) to signify King in the language of those barbarians. This is evidently the Chao which forms an essential part of the title of all Siamese and Shan princes.

[Regarding the word Nan-Chao, Mr. Parker (China Review, XX. p. 339) writes "In the barbarian tongue 'prince is Chao," says the Chinese author; and there were six Chao, of which the Nan or Southern was the leading power. Hence the name Nan-Chao ... it is hardly necessary for me to say that chao or kyiao is still the Shan-Siamese word for 'prince.' Pallegoix (Dict. p. 85) has Chao, Princeps, rex. - H.C.]

[5] Gandhara, Arabice Kandahar, is properly the country about Peshawar, Gandaritis of Strabo.

[6] This is printed almost in full in the French Voyage d'Exploration, I. 564.
