Remarks as to Meaning. 



' Tanjong Pagar Chin Seng Hill mouth ' 

 i.e. the road on to which Chin Seng 

 Hill opens (or faces) at Tanjong Pagar. 



(I do not suppose that this name would 

 help one much to locate the street 

 in speaking to a Chinaman, but there 

 are no names for this or many other 

 of the numerous new streets off Tan- 

 jong Pagar Road. However I was 

 given this description as applicable to 

 Bernam Street among others. ' Chin- 

 Seng Hill ' is what is usually called 

 'Bukit Kim Cheng.') 



' Rochore Road no end lane.' 

 (This is a small blind alley off Rochore 

 Road.) 



' Race Course Lane.' 



(See Belilios Road). 



' Within the godowns (quarter).' 



(' Gu-lang ' is not Chinese, but is simply 

 'godown' pronounced in Hokkien 

 fashion. I do not know why such a 

 name is specified for such an insignifi- 

 cant street as Blanco Court.) 



(i) ' Sampan ghaut or landing-place.' 



(This applies to the lower part of 



Quay near Purvis Creek.)
