Again : though there be numbered 360 practical modes of curing diseases, they 

 may be reduced to these three : examination of the patient (or of the symptoms

II. — Journal of a Tour through the Island of Rambree, with a Geologi- 

 cal Sketch of the Country, and Brief Account of the Customs, #c. of 

 its Inhabitants. By Lieut. Wm. Foley. 



[Read at the Meeting of the 2nd Oct. 1834.] 

 The Island of Rambree, or Yamawaddi* as it is termed by the Bur- 

 mas, is not without those features common to the whole of Arracan. 

 The same high land, covered with a thick and impenetrable jungle, 

 every where presents itself to the view of one approaching the coast ; 

 and the eye strives in vain to discover a diversity of feature in some 

 cleared spot, which would indicate the existence of a cultivation only 

 to be found in the interior of the island. It was with the view of 

 throwing some light upon the geology of Rambree that I prepared this 

 Journal for transmission to the Asiatic Society ; a consciousness of my 

 present superficial information on many points connected with the 

 geology of the island would have induced me to reserve this commu- 

 nication for a more favourable opportunity, was I not apprehensive 

 that such a season would never arrive, and that the little leisure I 

 now have at my disposal must of necessity be devoted to duties of a 



* In the year 1148, Mugh series, two years subsequent to the conquest of the 

 country by the Burmas, Arracan was divided into four distinct provinces, each sub- 

 ject to a separate jurisdiction. They were termed thus, 1. Divynawaddi (Ar- 

 racan Proper). 2. Yamawaddi (Rambree Island). 3. Megawaddi (Cheduba). 

 4. Dorawaddi (Sandoway). The proper name for Cheduba is Md'ong. The 

 word Cheduba must have been introduced by the Bengalis, I fancy, for it is un- 

 known to the Mughs. The same may be said of Akyab, which should be called 

 Chetowa.
