BARRETTO DE RESENDE’S ACCOUNT OF MALACCA. jus) 
There is the following mention of a jalea in the Storia do Mogor 
(Vol. I page 370.) 
eilhe kine of Arakan...2.....5.......0..:. sent him back to 
his father with a number of boats called jalzas, which are small 
galleys commanded by Portuguese subjects of the said King.” 
The word is connected with “ galley’ and with “‘jolly-boat:”’ 
see the very interesting article “ Gallevat’’ in Yule and Burnell. 
Penang. Lancaster’s visit in the “ Edward Bonaventure”’ in 1592 
is, | believe, the first recorded landing in Penang, but the 
present account would make it appear probable that the 
Portuguese scouting galleys called at the island before his time. 
May is the month ir which the South-West monsoon sets in, 
bringing the sailing boats from India. In December the North- 
East monsoon, which brings the Chinese trade down to 
Singapore, is in full force. 
Junk-Ceylon. The corruption of Ujong Salang, (see article Junk- 
Ceylon in Yule and Burnell). It is now better known as 
Tongkah. In September or Oxztober, the fair weather, along 
the West coast of the Peninsula, begins with the breaking of 
the North-Kast monsoon. 
I do not know this word. In the connection in which it is used it 
does not appear to have anything to do with ‘bahar’ or 
‘bhara.’ 
An alquerie is said by Vieyra (quoted in Albuquerque (Hakluyt) 
Vol. IV, page 88) to be the equivalent of “one peck, three 
quarts and one pint of English measure.” 
Godinho de Eredia deseribes a bantim as being a kind of skiff, a 
smaller vessel than a jalea, carrying oars and masts, and rud- 
ders on both sides, and as being used for sea-fights. Wilkin- 
son’s Dictionary gives banting as a native sailing boat with two 
masts. Crawfurd leaves it as ‘a kind of boat.” Wan Eysinga 
in his Malay-Dutch dictionary has bantieng, soort van boot 
met twee masten. 
No book of reference, to which I have access, gives this word. 
Coneretions found in the stomachs of certain animals and supposed 
to have marvellous antidotal virtues. The Portuguese gener- 
ally called them pedra di porco, but in Borneo they are, I 
believe, most often found in a species of monkey, and in Pahang 
in poreupines. Pahang is still famed for its porcupines’ bezoar 
stones. ; 
The reference would tend to show that the bezoar stones referred to 
immediately above were probably those of porcupines. 
Eagle-wood, or kayu gharu: see the article eagle-wood in Yule and 
Burnell. 
Sappan-wood or Brazil-wood.

Patani was from its position on the east coast of the peninsula a 
very important trading centre, and when the East India Com- 
pany issued instructions to its agent in the east in 1614 (circa)
