doubt, but, that the Calamen or Calama river is the nearest to Cape Aruba h : the Palamen of 
course will fall in a little to the westward of Cape Passence; and will answer to the place called 
Balomus by Nearchus; and is probably the river Ponamus of Pliny, for Polamus. It was, says 
he, a navigable river on the confines of the Pandse. This tribe is mentioned by Manuel de Faria 
under the name of Abindos or Obandos and they were the friends and allies of the Noytags. In 
another place Monserrat either calls them, or a tribe of them, Heytag; 1 and the pilot, whom 
Nearchus found at Mosarna in their country and who was called Hydrakes, was perhaps a 
Heytag. The additional R is no uncommon circumstance; thus instead of Teiz or Teasa, Ft. 
Porter has Tearsa. 
I think the Pandte. or Bandae of Pliny are nearer to the true pronunciation ; and that the 
Portuguese were misled by the affinity with Abindos, a river to the East of Cape Mudan, which 
Monserrat calls in Eatin Ab Indorum rivus , or the Indian Hdb. 
APPENDIX C. 
MONSERRATE’S MAP OF INDIA. 
Though Monserrate’s map has been reproduced to about double the size of the original, 
I feel it incumbent on me to help the reader in reading Monserrate’s diminutive writing, a task 
by no means easy to myself who dispose of the original. Throughout I shall adhere to 
Monserrate’s spelling. 
The four cardinal points can easily be read: Aquilo , Auster (of which the top part is 
still traceable in the original), Oriens, Occides. The Tropic of Cancer ( Cir cuius Carter i) looks, 
at a first glance, as if it divided the paper into unequal portions containing disconnected parts 
of India. 
The degrees of longitude lie between io6° and 125 0 ; the degrees of latitude between 15 0 
and 36°. 
Monserrate used three different inks : a very dark ink for the coastlines and place-names; 
red ink for the rivers and their names; a brownish ink for the mountain-ranges.
