North from Ava. 8S 
a branch, which passes through the chain of hills, and I suspect 
is connected with the Jowa ; but this has another source in the 
Khiasn mountains. 
About 56 Gr. miles in a direct line from the mouth of the 
Khiaenduaen, the accompanying map places a town named 
Magnghoen, which some other authorities place nearer the Na- 
rinzara ; but the authority of this map is here probably the 
best. W est from Ma^nghasn, and beyond the low hills one 
day’s journey, or perhaps 22 B. miles road-distance, is the other 
town already alluded to, and called Taunduaengiaun. In the 
general map this is reckoned the chief town of one of the go- 
vernments of which the lo country consists ; but I am inclined 
to think that this is a mistake, as I intend to explain in giving 
an account of another map. I consider it, in fact, as the chief 
town of a people called Aengiin, who inhabit the country oii 
the west side of the Khisenduaen, south from Kasi, and on a 
route leading from Amarapura to Manipura. They are repre- 
sented as a very rude fierce tribe ; but cultivate much rice, and 
their chief was said to have a representative at the Court of 
Ava when we were there. 
The Mranma country, between the Khiaendusen and Erawa- 
di, according to this map, extends on the latter to Zabbsehna- 
go, about 46 G. miles north from Amarapura, and consider- 
ably farther on the Khiaenduaen. It is finely watered by 
two reservoirs, constructed to collect the rain-water brought by 
the Mu torrent; Tbe southern of these reservoirs is called Be-^ 
miaekkri, and in this map makes the largest figure, because the 
northern reservoir, called Nandagun, is represented merely by 
a double line bounding the space between its western limits and 
the hills on the bank of the Erawadi, to which in the rainy sea- 
son it probably extends. It seems, however, to be the greatest 
work of the two, and according to this map extends from near 
Mouzhzhobo, once the capital of the empire, to Mrasdu, a dis- 
tance of two days journey. Other authorities make the distance 
still greater. 
The country of the Mranmas, on die left of the Erawadi,^ 
has on the east a mountainous region, which in the accompany- 
ing map reaches the river, above Tagaun, two days journey 
above Zabbaehnago, which, in the general map by the slave, i^
