1 6 Verification of the Itinerary of Hwan Thsang [ Ju ly, 



(As the other names mentioned in this paragraph occur again, they 

 are here omitted.) 



To the S. W. 



No. 26 — Fo-kia-lang. {Baghaldn, to the W. N. W. of Anderab). 



Thence to the S. 



No. 27 — Ki-lu-si-min-kian. (Perhaps Khinjan, to the W. of 

 Anderab.) 



Thence to the N. W. 



No. 28 — Hu-pin. (Probably Mazar near Balkh.) 



Thence to the W. 



No. 29 — Fo-ko, bounded by the river Fa-tsu to the N. (Undoubt, 

 edly Baktra or Balkh, and not Badakshdn as supposed by Landresse- 

 Badakshan is called Po-tiio-tsang-na.) 



Thence towards the snowy mountains. 



No. 30 — Yuei-mi-tho. (Perhaps Maimuna, the Yehudiah of Edrisi, 

 and the etot2mot anassa f Ptolemy, for which I propose to read 



EY0YAHMOT ANA22A.) 



To the S. W. 



No. 31 — Hu-shi-kian. (Kushk, to the north of Herat, the Kasike 

 of Ptolemy.) 



Thence to the N. W. 



No. 32 — Ta-la-kian. (Tdlikdn. — If the last identification is correct, 

 the bearing should be N. E. ; as according to Edrisi, Talekan stood upon 

 the high road leading from Merv to Balkh. Landresse has identified 

 this with the lesser Talikan, to the eastward of Balkh, a mistake into 

 which he was led by identifying Fo-ko with Badakshdn, but Hwan 

 Thsang particularly notices that Ta-la-kian stretched to Pho-lo-sse 

 or Persia, on the westward.) 



From Fo-ko, at 100 li (16 miles) to the S. 



No. 33 — Ko-chi. (There is no map of the Balkh river in existence j 

 this place therefore cannot be identified.) 



Thence to the S. E. towards the snowy mountains. 



No. 34 — Fan-yan-na. (Bdmidn, — Landresse.) 



Thence to the E. over a snowy chain and the black mountains. 



No. 35 — Kia-pi-she, at the foot of the mountains of Tsung-ling. 

 (Lassen has identified this with the Kapisa of Ptolemy, and the Capissa 

 of Pliny, which I further identify with the Caphusa of Solinus, and
