I have already mentioned, that in this part of the Zabua’s 
route, v/e could only allow eleven British miles for a day’s jour- 
ney, direct distance, which will perhaps give sixteen British 
miles, road distance, for each individual day ; and this is fully 
as much as I ever found that I could travel in India, carrying 
with me the usual incnmbrances of tents, furniture, provisions, 
servants, and other accommodations necessary to render travel- 
ling comfortable in a country where there are no inns. Accord- 
ing to this rate of travelling Kiounmraun, even by the Zabua’s es- 
timate, should be only forty-eight miles road distance above Ama- 
rapura ; but Mr Arrowsmith makes it forty geographical miles in 
a direct line, which I am confident is too much ; nor, on the 
whole route, can the day’s journey give more than nine and a 
quarter geographical miles direct distance. Reckoning by this 
rule the eastern boundary of the space included in this map, 
from Amarapura to Miadaun, will extend about eighty-three 
geographical miles in a direct line. 
Next, for the extent on the western side, from the junction of 
tlie two great rivers to the mouth of the Nerinzara, we have, 
according to this map, ten days journey, besides the space be- 
tween Eadoun and Amre?ii, which has been omitted. But, in 
the map by the native of Taunu, {PhiL Journal^ Vol. IV. p.* 76.) 
the distance is eleven days journey, including the space between 
Badoun and Amrson. These two authorities may therefore be 
considered as agreeing tolerably ; and, if the days journeys on 
the Khi9cndua3n and Erawadi are of a similar length, the wes- 
tern side of this map may be considered as about 101 geogra- 
phical miles in length ; but the allowance taken for the day’s 
journey in the account of the map of Ava by the native of 
Taunu, would reduce considerably this extent, and such a re- 
duction can be more easily reconciled with circumstances than 
the greater allowance. 
In the seventh number of this Journal, (Vol. IV. p. 83.) I have 
mentioned, that some maps erroneously place Maenghsen close to 
the mouth of the Nerinzara. Such is the case in this map; and I 
have already mentioned another probable error respecting this 
place, in its being made seven days, in place of three days jour- 
ney from Mredu. If the latter be the real distance, Mredu
