NOTES. C1X 



( 424 ) p. 287. The x name G. Idjen may, according to Buschmann, be de- 

 rived from the Javanese word hidjen: single, alone ; itself a derivative from the 

 substantive hidji or widji : a "grain," or "seed," which combined with sa 

 expresses the number one. On the etymology of Tengger, see my brother's 

 comprehensive Notice, " Ueber die Verbindungen zwischen Java und Indien " 

 (Kawi-Sprache, Bd. i. S. 188), where the historic importance of the Tengger 

 mountains is shown as being inhabited by a small tribe who have retained their 

 ancient Indo-Javanese belief, in opposition to the Mahometanism which now pre- 

 vails generally over the island. Junghuhn, who is very diligent in explaining the 

 mountain names from the Kawi language, says (Th. ii. S. 554) that " tengger " 

 means " hill," as is also said in Gericke's Javanese Dictionary ( Javaansch- 

 Nederduitsch Woordenboek, Amst. 1847). Slamat, the name of the high vol- 

 cano of Tegal, is the known Arabic word selamat, which means good speed, 

 good success, hail.

( 43 ) p. 291. In my Essai Politique sur ia Nouvelle Espagne, in the two 

 editions of 1811 and 1827 (in the latter, t. ii. p. 165175), I gave, as the 

 nature of the work required, only an abridged extract from my Journal, without the 

 topographical plan or map of elevations. From the importance attached to such 

 an event in the middle of the last century, I have thought it well to complete the 

 extract for the present occasion. I am indebted for additional particulars re- 

 specting the new Volcano of Jorullo to an official document (written only three 

 weeks after the day of the first eruption), which was first discovered in 1830 by 

 a scientifically well-informed Mexican ecclesiastic, Don Juan Jose' Pastor Morales. 

 Some of my information was derived from verbal communications made to me by 

 my companion Don Ramon Espelde, who had obtained the information himself 

 from surviving eye-witnesses of the event. Morales discovered in the archives 

 of the bishop of Michuacan a Report addressed by Joaquin de Ansogorri, priest 

 in the Indian village of la Guacana, to his bishop, dated 19 Oct. 1759. Ober- 

 bergrath Burkart, in his instructive work entitled Aufenthalt und Reisen in 

 Mexico (1336), has also given a short extract from it (Bd. i. S. 230). At the 

 time of my journey, Don Rumon Espelde was living on the plain of Jorullo, and
