being placed west from the Main Zin river in the first map, and 
east from the same in the second. Finally, in the second map, 
Maikkhia is placed nearer Zsenmae than Naghain ; while, in the 
first map, the reverse is the case. *These differences are thus 
not numerous, and some of them bear an explanation,, without 
supposing any great error in the construction. 
The most essential reason, however, for publishing both maps 
is, that the second contains only the places near the capital ; be- 
cause it was of these only that the compiler recollected the re- 
spective distances. The whole towns, therefore, that are men- 
tioned in the first map, towards the Saluaen river, tov/ards the 
frontiers of Siam and Kiainroungri, and on the east side of the 
Maskhaun, are omitted in the second, except M. Gain; which, 
as being a place of very great importance, and its distance well 
known, is mentioned in both. 
Although, in the second map, the compiler has mentioned the 
distances between the respective places, he has made no attempt 
to lay them down by a scale. Thus, for instance Sinhoun, which 
is only six leagues from Zaenmge, is placed farther from this city 
than from Anan, which is three days’ journey distant ; and, on 
the whole, I am inclined to think, that the relative situations of 
the places are best represented in the first map. The essential 
place at the Saluasn, where the lines, denoting distances, com- 
mence five days’ jommey from Pabaun, and which is not named 
in these maps, I know to be Dhanukia Zeip, said to be three 
days’ journey east from Monaeh, one of the Shanwa towns, which 
is nearly at an equal distance from Amarapura and Taunu, but 
considerably to the east of the direct line between these two 
cities. ' 
I now proceed to compare these draughts with the general 
map, of which an account was given in the second volume of this 
Journal. By this means, we shall be able to form some judg- 
ment concerning the extent which the Jun Shan occupiedv in 
1795, when the map was drawn. 
In the general map, as well as in both the particular ones, the 
western boundary of the Jun Shan is the river Salusen. We are 
told by M. Make Brun, (English translation, t. iii. p. 832.), that 
M. d’Anville considers the rivers of Martaban and Pegu as two 
mouths of one great river ; that modern English travellers tell us,
