Dr Hatnilton’s Account of a Map of 
or 44 mile^ distant. Launsci, the nearest Jo town, is but a 
small way from Warabiaen, and, besides Jo, its territory contains 
many Khisen. Thilsen is the next town of the Jo, and is one 
day’s journey north from Warabian* Beyond this, he knew Jo, 
Zho, and ICakhiap, as districts occupied by Jo* 
Soon afterwards I received a visit from the hereditary Chief 
cA Paukgan, with whom were several good looking young men, 
his relations. They said that Thilsen is directly opposite to 
Paukgan ; above this are the five villages dependent on Pauk- 
gan, and above these Jo Mro. They also said that Zho, Jo 
and Thilsen are very large governments, under the authority of 
Zabuas, or hereditary princes ; while Launsci was governed by 
a Mrosagri or Lieutenant on part of the lady, who was mother 
to the Prince of Paukgan. 
In the evening I accompanied Captain Symes to return the 
visit of the hereditary Chief, and at his house became acquaint- 
ed with the persoti who composed this map, and who accom- 
panied me to my boat, where we began our geographical inves- 
tigations, by his looking at some European maps, and having 
their nature explained to him. Next morning he returned with 
an old Jo man. The accounts which these two men gave me 
of the country opposite to Paukgan 'was as follows : The Jowa 
river^ from its mouth upwards, has a northerly course for a con- 
siderable way, between Danghii and the Khiasn mountains. It 
then bends towards the west, rising from the mountains border- 
ing on Arkan. The lower part of this small river has both its 
banks inhabited by Mranmas, subject to Paukgan, and occupy- 
ing two clusters of nine villages each ; the ternl which I 
have translated village, implying not only the cluster of houses, 
but the territory cultivated by the inhabitants. Beyond these 
villages, but on the east side of the Khiaen mountains, is Launs- 
ci, a town of the Jo, ten leagues or twenty-two miles from 
Danghii, meaning, I presume, the temple, eight leagues north 
from Launsci is Zho, and eight leagues farther is Jo, otherwise 
called Kakhiap, and still four leagues beyond this is Thllaen. 
Between these two the Jowa turns to the west, where it springs 
fromr the mountains which separate Jo from Arakan. Above 
Kakhiap and Thilaen are Kal^h and Saundut, two towns of the 
5hah. - It must be observed, that this account entirely reverses
