A thian pho chi lo. — Adeenuh, Gujerat. The place indicated is 

 clearly a district on the sea coast. Adeenuh is a large town in the 

 Sircar of Surat, Soobuh Gujerat ; mentioned in the Ayeen Akbaree, 

 with a harbour for ships. The capital Ko tch che fa lo. — 

 Kurachee poor ! 1 I should almost doubt this reading, for a ca- 

 pital of Guzerat, but the loose connection between other establish- 

 ed and identified places leaves us ample room for even such a 

 jump. Kurrache is clearly on the coast and on the west of the Indus.

Lang kolo.'— This district on the sea, possessing ports for Zungbar, 

 and depending on Persia, must be either Kerman or Mukran. The 

 word reads as Lungoor, which I almost think I have seen in relation 

 with this coast. It may be Punjgoor, which is a large town of Kuch 

 Mukran. We have Rajahs of Sundul mentioned by Ferdoosee in the 

 direction of Kerman. I suspect the Chinese author read of some port 

 of embarkation for Zungebar, he seized with alacrity on the known 

 word zun, for women, and manufactured the translation of western 

 from some fancied form derived of ci;*, west, or any similar root.
