A small map has been added to these notes , giving a sketch of the Archipelago 

 and containing the principal names mentioned in the preceding pages. The modern 

 names are in running hand , the old names in printing letters , whilst the numbers ad- 

 ded to these names , refer to the time when they are first spoken of in history. 



In this map it was necessary to fix doubtful localities with more precision than 

 has been done in the text; we beg our readers to remember this when looking at it, 

 as in such cases the uncertainty fully remains and as the map is not intended to give 

 more than a general indication of the probable or possible situation. 



Pu-ni , on the western-coast of Borneo , has been placed near Sambas, as the 

 latter town formerly was the principal Malay settlement on or near the sea-coast. 



In the Journal of the Batavian Society of Arts and Sciences, Yol III, p. 186, 

 we find that Mr. Priederich , whilst investigating the antiquities of Java , came to the 

 conclusion that the Hindoo's , at a very early period , must have had establish- 

 ments in Bantam , on the north-western coast of Java , and excercised a consid- 

 erable infiuence. This inüuence however has not spread far into the interior , and 

 seems to have ceased soon afterwards : in later times no Hindoo settlements of any 

 importance are known to have existed there. This agrees with the site assigned to 

 Lang-ga or Lang-ga-su (v. p. 12), which name too disappears soon afterwards. 



On pag. 92 we were still unable to determine the position of the old city of 

 Sumatra; we might have spoken of Pasei, which is pointed out by native tradition 

 as the principal place on the coast before it was supplanted by Atjeh , but we refrain- 

 ed from doing so , as we did not know how long it had occupied that position. Some 

 new information has however been obtained since from a report of one of our functiona- 

 ries, who visited Pasei last year and found there a village called Samudra , on the lef 

 bank of the river, about three miles from the sea. It is curious to observe that our 

 informant, just as the Chinese traveler on p. 85, speaks of the heavy surf which is 

 continually raging at the mouth of the river. Taking together these different indi- 

 cations, we do not hesitate to say that this village of Samudra is the remnant of 

 the former capital of the country.
