Tartary and Amarapura, by an Ambassador to China. 41 
eighteen days journey from Amarapura to Panmo, a distance of 
150 miles, we have SJ miles for each day’s journey, making the^ 
lower city about 42 miles, and the upper about 58 miles distant 
from Panmo. The territory of the Prince or Zabua of Panmo, 
however, occupies the whole space between the Erawadi and 
Yunnan, probably 230 miles in length, but narrow in proportion. 
Opposite to Panmo, and extending along the right bank of 
the Erawadi, is the territory belonging to the Zabua of Md- 
gaun, the most powerful chief of the Shanwa country. His ca- 
pital is said in this map to be situated on a small branch of the 
Erawadi, entering that river opposite to Kakkio, and to be fifteen 
days journey from Panmo : but Mom tin or Tengye, by the same 
calculation, is thirteen days journey, and, being only about 100 
miles in a direct line, we have only miles for the day’s jour- 
ney, and we must place Mogaun about 15 miles farther from 
Panmo than Mr Arrowsmith has done. Ten days, or about 
77 miles beyond this, between the river of Mogaun and the 
Erawadi, we have Paisendusen, a city belonging to the Zabua 
of Mogaun. Paisenduaen, in another map above mentioned, is 
made one of the towns situated on the other side of the Era- 
wadi, belonging to the Zabua of Panmo ; but as this chief 
places it in the dominion of his neighbour, there can be little 
doubt of the author of that map having made a mistake. Be- 
yond Paiaendusen, the Erawadi divides into two branches, the 
one, I suppose, being the Kenpou, augmented by a branch of 
the Sanpou or Brahmaputra, and the other being the river of 
Tchoudsong. Between these, twelve days, or about 90 miles 
from Paiaenduaen, is a town, like it belonging to the Zabua of 
Mogaun, and called Khandi. It is probable, that Paiaenduaen 
and Kandi are ihe towns or countries which the people of Asani 
call Chingpho and Kamti, and place to the west of their coun- 
try, Chingpho towards the south, and Kamti towards the 
north. In Mr Arrowsmith’s map of Hindustan, the latter has 
by mistake been placed in the space which should have been 
occupied by Manipur or Kasi, as will appear from the annexed 
sketch of Asam, which was drawn by a native, and communi- 
cated by me to Mr Arrowsmith. Although I have here stated, 
that Paiasnduasn and Khandi belong to the Chief of Mogaun, 
yet I have received other information, according to which these
