Page 6, line 18. — The village of Peh-slwui-ying (white water-camp) is about 10 miles distant 

 from Amoy, built ou the left bank of the Dragon-river (Lung-Kiang). It is a dirty, little place, 

 chiefly inhabited by the owners and skippers of those light crafts which transport human 

 inanure, known 'amongst foreigners in China by the significant name of //Stinkboats." The 

 village numbers about one thousand souls.

P. 13, 1. 6. — We have not been able to determine the situation of this place. According to 

 the History given by Dr. Hoffmann, who was, ho wever, not in the possession of the Chinese 

 original, the five monks fled to Chang-sha-fu in the province of Hu-hvang. This must be 

 wrong, for they were at a place quite near the Ocean (line 13); Avhilst Chang-sha-fu lies deep 

 in the interior of China. On page 14, line 1, we see, besides, that they arrived at Kao-k/ri 

 near Yun-siao. Both these places are mentioned in the Chinese work Tldan-Ma-lu<hing (Itine- 

 rary of the Empire, Edition of 1694). Kao-Mi is mentioned in Vol. III, fol. 87, verso: it is 

 the 13th post or stage on the road from Ting-chao-fu (Lat. 25°44'54'", Long. 114°09'35") to 

 Tsxang-loli (Lat. 26°43' , Long. 115°18'), in the province of Fuh-kien, Yun-siao is mentioned in 

 the same volume on fol. 66, dorso: it is the 28th stage on the road from the city of Can- 

 ion to Chang-chao-fu (Lat. 24°31'12", Long. 115°32'30' r ) in Fuh-kien; the place, besides, is no- 

 ted on klaproth's Carte de la Chine. The mistake originates in the interpretation of the 

 three Chinese characters Chang-sha-lu , which may be translated by Chang-sha-road (road to Chang- 

 sha) or by Long-sand-road, as we have done — having come to the conclusion that this is; 

 the right interpretation on account of the above-mentioned topographical notices. 



P. 13, 1. 8. — The episode of the two boatmen Sie/i and Wu is not mentioned in our 

 copies; but we have taken it from the History given by Dr. Hoffmann: as we have mentio- 

 ned already above, he had not got the Chinese original, and could, therefore, not give i 

 Chinese characters for those two names. We have intercalated, ho wever, the episode, be-- 

 cause there is, perhaps, a connection between those two boatmen, and bet ween the ;?kip)>er. 

 and Iris wile, mentioned in the Catechism on page 70 & 71, Q;. 80 — B\
