NOTES ON MALAY HISTORY. 147 



reply contesting his claim of an ancient Siamese occupation 

 of the whole Peninsula (J. E. A. S., January 1906). In the 

 Encyclopaedic van Nederlandsch-Indie (s. v. Tochten, vol. IV, 

 p. 384) the geographical data relating to the Archipelago and 

 the Peninsula are again examined and some identifications 

 suggested. 



There is still scope for a few more remarks on these 

 matters : the subject is one of local interest to the readers of 

 this Journal, and some of the identifications that have been 

 suggested require to be amended The Nagaraketagama men- 

 tions a considerable number of places in the Eastern Archipel- 

 ago and the Malay Peninsula as being subject to the empire of 

 Majapahit. Beginning in Can£o 13 with Sumatra, it specifies 

 Jambi, Palembang. Tega. Dharmacraya, Kandis. Katiwas, 

 Manangkabo, Siyak Kekan, Kampar, Pane, Kampe, Haru, 

 Mandahiling, Tumihang, Parlak, Barta, Lwas, Samudra, 

 Lamuri, Batan, Lampung and Barus. "These and some 

 others lie in the land of Malay u, " says the poem, as abstract- 

 ed by Professor Kern. It then proceeds to deal with the 

 dependencies on the island of Tanjungna^ara, which is clearly 

 the same as the Tanjung Pura of the Pararaton and is certainly 

 Borneo, as the names of the several places on it sufficiently 

 prove. They are : Kapuas, Katingan, Sampit, Kuta Lingga, 

 Kuta "Waring"!!!, Sambas, Lawai, Kadangdangan, Landa, Same- 

 dang, Tirem, Sedu, Buruneng' (probably for Berunai-Brunei), 

 Kalasaludung, Solot, Pasir, Baritu, Sawaku, Tabalung, Tun- 

 jungkute, Malano, and the capital town Tanjungpuri. 



The poet next proceeds (in the second strophe of Canto 



14) to enumerate a list of places, which like those in the two 



preceding lists, though not in strict geographical order, have 



evidently been grouped together because they belong to one 



definite region. This region, to which no general name appears 



to be attached, is the Malay Peninsula. The four lines in which 



they occur appear to me to read as follows in the printed text : —
