16 BARRETTO DE RESENDE’S ACCOUNT OF MALACCA. 
[vide an article in Journal No 54,| it selected, as the four prin- 
cipal stations, Surat on the west coast of India, Coromandel 
on the east coast of India, Bantam in Java, and Patani in the 
Malay Peninsula. “The command of him at Patani was to 
stretch over Siam, Cambodia, Cochin-China, Japan and Borneo ; 
and the places thereabouts. ”’ 
Water-melons: see the article pataca in Yule and Burnell. 
There are very interesting accounts of the queen of Patani and of 
the custom of the country in the ° Calendar of State 
Papers, Colonial Series, East Indies, China and Japan” 
Volume I. 
Godinho de Eredia has the following account :— 
“The vessels used by the inhabitants of Ujontona are not great. 
They have balos, vessels used for freight, with oars and carry- 
ing sails like those of a frigate. The body of the boat is of 
hard wood, and the frame is made of branches of the nypeira 
palm and of canes laced together to keep out the water. They 
have one or two masts, and the ropes are made of rattans 
The sails are made of a kind of palm known as Pongo. At the 
stern are two rudders one on each side.”’ 
De la Loubere (Historical Relation of the Kingdom of Siam A. D. 
1888) gives a long account of the © balous”’ of Siam, (page 41) 
and has four engravings of highly ornamental and elaborately 
carvel barges, with lofty poops and bows, used by the king 
and by high officials on state occasions. I venture to think 
that the derivation which Yule and Burnell suggest for tor this 
word in their article “ Baloon”’ is incorrect, and that the pro- 
bable derivation is from the word ballam, or vallam, used for 
dug-out canoes in Ceylon. See Emerson Tennant’s Ceylon 
Vol. II Page 549. 
The Malay word kamud1, a rudder. 
I do not know this word. 
Manii is the Malayalam word for a large cargo boat with a single 
mast and a.square sail much used on the Malabar coast. The 
Portuguese made manchua out of the word. 
Perhaps another form of the word agila, i.e. eagle wood—vide Note 
31 supra. 
Or benjamin: kemennyen; the resin of the styrasa benzown: for a 
derivation of the word, and an account of the resin, see the 
article in Yule and Burnell. See also the article in Crawfurd. 
I do not know what this may be. 
The resinous incrustation produced on certain trees by their 
puncture by the lac insect [coccus lacca.| For an interesting 
account of this resin, and of stick-lac, seed-lac, and lacquer, 
see the article lac in Yule and Burnell. 
Eagle-wood—See the article Calambac in Crawfurd. 
The “gold mountains”’ of Pahang, i.e., the land in Ulu Pahang, are 
mentioned in the history of the ming dynasty. (Vide Groene-
