308 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [No. 3, 
Superintendent of Police, at whose request I forward them and beg 
you will kindly mention him as the donor. 
Accompanying is a list of Kings who reigned in Arakan, holding 
their courts in the city and fort of that name. The city was called 
the “ Old City” (Myohoung) or “ Myouko,” (the Yam) indifferently. 
The meaning of the latter name I cannot discover. It was com- 
menced in 1430 4 pD., by Khyaw-moon, but not completed till 1531, 
by Mengba, who armed the fort and established in the ramparts the 
magazines, which have now been dug into. 
The shot are made, you will observe, very symmetrically. It is possi- 
y) 
ble they may have been purchased, with “ pierricrs,” or stone mortars, 
as they were called, from old Portuguese or other European voyagers. 
Of guns not a trace has yet been met with in or near the fort, and it 
is probable they were carried away by the Burmese invaders subse- 
quent to the last Arakan king Sanay, in 1652. 
Believe me, &c.,
