Arakan, and whose chief is distinguished by the title of Po- 

 mang (captain). From this tribe the channel of the river is 

 full of stones, and its banks are uninhabited ; but canoes 

 can with some difficulty be pushed on two day's journey far- 

 ther, to where the river descends from a great mountain called 

 Muin Mura, beyond which the traders never go. A little 

 above Bilchery a small river, named Baungngu, enters the 

 Mamuri from the north, and by this there is a route to the 

 Sualuk, which falls into the Sunkar. Through the south side 

 of the Manikpur valley, a stream called Yaungsa enters the 

 Mamuri from the south, and by this is a route to the Edgong 

 valley ; but these routes are only practicable for men on foot.

 another account of this river in writing, from which I have 

 extracted as follows, adding an explanation.
