Dr Hamilton on a Map of the Country 
line ; and lower down, the distance is still less being only half 
as much at Mouzhzhobo. On the left of the Khiaenduaen, the 
country of the Tailung or Kasi Shan does not extend so far to 
the south as on the right. In the general map by the slave, 
the lowest town of this nation on the left bank is called Kasa, 
which is not mentioned in the accompanying map ; but I am 
inclined to think, that Baleek, days journey, or about 95 G. 
miles up the river, is the uppermost Mranma town in that quarter. 
The proper territory of the Mranmas extends but a very 
short way to the west of the Khisendusen, having, according to 
this map, for its boundary a low chain of hills, which commen- 
ces at Pukhan, and extends all the way to the Kasi country. 
In the accompanying map, only two places beyond this chain 
are mentioned. The one is a village called Khisen, probably 
from its being inhabited by people of the Khiaen tribe. It is 
situated where the Narinzara receives a tributary stream called 
the Mrissa. This, being one day’s journey from the Khioen- 
duaen, may be considered as not more than 22 British miles 
road-distance from thence, leaving room only for a very small 
ridge^ which separates the country of lo from that of the Mran- 
mas ; nor can this be considered as a branch of the mountains 
extending from Cape Negrais, as represented in the general 
map of the slave. Another low ridge, which is called Dang- 
hii, extends parallel to the Erawadi opposite to Pougan, com- 
mencing with a dolphin head a little below that city, and seems 
to join the former about two days journey above the mouth of 
the Khiaendusen. The part of it which I saw is of very mode- 
rate height^ as from Pougem I could see over it the mountains 
of Khiaen ; but it is exceedingly naked and barren. Between 
this chain, called Danghii, and the mountains of the Khiasn, is 
a river called Jow^a, which j where it enters the Erawadi, has a 
very wide sandy channel, and in the rainy season contains much 
water, nor does it ever become altogether dry ; but it is said to 
be too rapid for navigation, and, when I saw it, on the 5th of 
November, the rainy season being then over, its stream was 
about 30 yards wide. It is said to spring from the Khiasn 
mountains ; but in the accompanying map, from above Padsek, 
almost seven days journey, or 50 G. niiles from the mouth 
of the Khiaenduasn, this last mentioned river seems to send off
