southerly, and the most easterly point of the main land of the 
Malacca coast which from this point turns North in the diree-

Godinho de Eredia in his Declaracam de Matnees e India Meri- 
dional invariably wrote it Ujontana, thus VJONTANA—-which 
Janssen, in his French translation has rendered throughout as 
Viontana. Pinto (A. D. 1614) has Jantana. 
Marsden in his ‘‘ History of Sumatra” (p. 345) writes of the “ King 
of Oojong Tana (formerly of Bintang)”’ and is obviously refer- 
ring to the ruler of Johore. 
The map in the M. S. shows this to be the Linggi River—Godinho 
- de Eredia also gives the northern and southern boundaries of 
Malacca as the Panagim and the Muar Rivers. 
The Portuguese “married man” formed a distinct class in 
Portuguese. There was the governing class, whose duty it 
was to administer the settlement, the military class whose duty 
it was to defend it, and the “ married man” whose duty—like 
that of the colonists of early Greece, it was to populate it. The 
Malacca Portuguese of the present day are the descendents of 
the married men. Godinho de Eredia says © in the interior of 
this fortress there are, exclusive of the garrison, three hundred 
married men with their families. ”’ 
Straw huts: in other words, atap houses. 
Poisoned weapons were used with considerable success in the 
defence of Malacca against Albuquerque. The Commentaries 
after referring to the © blowing tubes with poisoned arrows ’”’ 
(which nowadays are used only by the aborigines) say :— 
‘Of the men struck by the poisoned arrows on the first 
day, none escaped but one Fernao Gomez de Lemso, who was 
burned with a red hot iron directly he was struck so that 
ultimately God spared his life.” 
Poisoned chevaux de frise—the Malay ranjaus, sharpened 
stakes stuck point upwards in the ground, are referred to in 
Albuquerque’s account of the fighting on the second day of 
the defence of Malacca. 
A weight used in South India: it varies (as do all weights and 
-measures) in different places, but may be put at 500 pounds. 
Yule and Burnell’s Glossary coutains the following :— 
_ “The word is Mahratta Khandi, written in Tamil and 
Malayalam Kandi. The Portuguese write it Candil.” 
Among the passages quoted in the Glossary is this one 
from van Linschoten (A.D. 1598) : “ candil is little more or less 
than 14 bushels wherewith they measure Rice, Corn, and all 
grain.’ 
Whitaker's Almanack gives among the Indian weights :—1 candy 
= 500 lb.

by direction of the Federated Malay States Government have 
adopted the spelling—-Johor, I venture to take this opportunity
