590 Note on the Map attached to [No. 102. 



in one place some hilly ground, called by the Siamese the Nine Hills, we arrived 

 at 6 p.m. at our halting place, near a small village named Kahnom. (4) 



" 27th, — Detained by heavy rain. 



" 28th.— Started at \ past 6 a.m. and at 12, crossed a stream, Khlong Chekram, 

 and halted at Ban Chekram. 



" 29^.— Started at \ past 7 a.m. At 8 crossed Khlong Tha-thang, a small stream. 

 At 12 passed near some hills, the road leading between two of them, at some distance 

 from each other ; and at about 3 arrived at our halting place near Ban Hude, on the 

 side of a very rapid stream, Khlong Koowat, which we crossed. 



" 30^.— Halted. 



" 31^.— Started at \ past 6 a.m. At 10, crossed, Khlong Dinles ; and at \ past 10, 

 Khlong Sai ; at \ past 11, Khlong Banpring ; and at about 3 p.m. arrived at the halting 

 place, Ban Kliung. 



" 1st January. Started at \ past 6 a.m. At 10 crossed Khlong Hooei Yong reng ; 

 at 12 saw a hill to our left, and at 2 p. m. arrived at our halting place on the 

 right of a large river, Khlong Tha-Khan, on the opposite of which, towards the 

 mouth .of the river, is a large town called Ban-Phoon-phin. (5) 



" 2d. — Detained in crossing the elephants. We attempted to go in a boat down 

 to the mouth of the river, but it was too late in the day. We saw a branch of the 

 river running down to the southward, which we were told led to the town of Ban- 

 don. We visited the town of Phoonphin. Mr. Leal took an observation, and 

 made the latitude 9- 38' N. 



"The Xhakan (6) river is the northern boundary of the Rajah of Ligor's jurisdiction. 



"3rd. — Started at 10 a.m., crossing Kholong Thakhan in a boat, down the left 

 bank of which river, the road passed for some time. At 4 p. m. arrived at our halting 

 place near Ban Kalok. 



" 4th. — Started at 7 a.m. 12 crossed a small river, and passed through two small vil- 

 lages ; halted at 2 p. m. at Phumrieng, (7) a small village situated inland of the town 

 of Chhaiya. 



" bth. — Visited the town of Chhaiya. The river is a large, broad, deep stream. 

 We did not cross the river (8) but passed, as I suppose, at the head of it. Latitude 9* 

 57' N. 



4. This is likely to be " Carmom" of various charts and maps, although by them the river of that 

 name is placed more to the southward, and Carmom point is about 8' 55" N. Lat. 



5. Crawfurd's Punsshi. 



6. The Thakham discharges itself, it is said, into the sea by two embouchures ; the northern one 

 having the town of Thathong at it, and the southern one Bandon. The Rajah stopped at 

 the place where the river is usually crossed, and where it bears the name of Thakham, though 

 the name of Bandon is some times erroneously given to the whole stream. The Thakham is 

 said to be a large stream, which leads to Pennon, 3 days journey from Phoouga, near Junk-Ceylon. 

 There are numerous islands at the mouth of this river, or rivers, named by Horsburgh and 

 Vallentyn 'Larchin Islands.' Mr. Crawfurd in his map lays down this part of the coast very 

 differently from the authorities above noticed ; a reference to the sketch No. 2 will show the points 

 wherein they disagree. 



1 Crawfurd's Pumring. 



8 Mr. Harris states he did not cross the Chhaiya river. The town is probably, therefore, situated 

 on an arm of the sea, unless the small stream crossed during the march of the 4th be the head of 

 the Chhaiya river. Horsburgh has a place called Patanon on or near the site of Chhaiya, but as 

 Crawfurd has left it out of his map, it in all likelihood does not now exist.
