WE now come to the island of Oojong Salang, 

 or Juiik Ceylon, as it is more comniotily termed 

 by tlie BritisK. Perhaps, few countries have bad 

 their origioal appellation so much corrupted as 

 this comparatively small .spot of Oojong Salang. 

 Mendez Pinto terms it Jonsala ; by Fiteh it isi 

 converted into Jonsalaoo; Linschoten calls it 

 Gunsalun, Gerv^ase, Jonsalam ; Choisy, Jonce- 

 lang; Hamilton^ Junkceloan ; and the modems, 

 Junk Ceylon.
