i Khan,
bore the name of Nan Sung or Nang Sung, and to-day the pass which cuts
this territory in the direction of T'eng Yueh is called Nang-Sung-kwan. It
is hardly possible to doubt that this is the place called Nga-caung-khyam
by the Burmese Chronicles. (_Bul. Ecole franc. Ext. Orient_, Oct.-Dec.,
1909, p. 652.)

A Map in the Yun Nan Topography Section 9, "Tu-ssu" or Sawbwas, marks the
Kingdom of "Eight hundred wives" between the mouths of the Irrawaddy and
the Salween Rivers. (Note kindly sent by Mr. H.A. OTTEWILL.)

CAUGIGU.

M. Georges Maspero, _L'Empire Khmer_, p. 77 n., thinks that Canxigu =
Luang Prabang; I read Caugigu and I believe it is a transcription of
_Kiao-Chi Kwe_, see p. 131.

LIX., pp. 128, 131.

"I have identified, II., p. 131, Caugigu with _Kiao-Chi kwe_ (Kiao Chi),
i.e. Tung King." Hirth and Rockhill (_Chau Ju-kua_, p. 46 n.) write:
"'Kiau chi' is certainly the original of Marco Polo's Caugigu and of
Rashideddin's Kafchi kue."

[2] Regarding this name and its history, see PELLIOT, _Journ. Asiatique_,
1912, I., p. 582. Qara Khodja was celebrated for its abundance of
grapes. (BRETSCHNEIDER, _Mediaeval Res._, I., p. 65.) J. DUDGEON (_The
Beverages of the Chinese_, p. 27) misreading it Ha-so-hwo, took it for
the designation of a sort of wine. STUART (_Chinese Materia Medica_,
p. 459) mistakes it for a transliteration of "hollands," or may be
"alcohol." The latter word has never penetrated into China in any
form.

[3] This work is also the first that contains the word _a-la-ki_,
from Arabic 'araq. (See _T'oung Pao_, 1916, p, 483.)

[4] A range of mountains separating Shan Si from Chi li and Ho Nan.

[5] This is probably a phantasy. We can make nothing of it, as it is not
stated how the adulterated wine was made.

[6] This possibly is the earliest Chinese allusion to alcohol.

CH'ANG LU.

The Rev. A.C. MOULE (_T'oung Pao_, July, 1915, p. 417) says that "Ciang
lu [Ch'anglu] was not, I think, identical with Ts'ang chou," but does not
give any reason in support of this opinion.

CH'ANG LU SALT.

"To this day the _sole name_ for this industry, the financial centre of
which is T'ien Tsin, is the 'Ch'ang-lu Superintendency.'" (E.H. PARKER,
_As. Qua
