The "Little Orphan Rock," after a cut in _Oliphant's Narrative_. 2. _Middle_. The "Golden Island" near Chin-kiang fu, after _Fisher's China_. (This has been accidentally reversed in the drawing.) 3. _Lower_. The "_Silver Island_," below the last, after Mr. Lindley's book on the T'ai-P'ings. The West Gate of CHIN-KIANG FU. From an engraving in _Fisher's China_ after a sketch made by Admiral Stoddart, R.N., in 1842. South-West Gate and Water Gate of SU-CHAU; facsimile on half scale from the incised Map of 1247. (See List of Inserted Plates preceding, under p. 182.) The old LUH-HO-TA or Pagoda of Six Harmonies near HANG-CHAU, and anciently marking the extreme S.W. angle of the city. Drawn by Q. CENNI from an anonymous photograph received from the Rev. G. Moule. Imperial City of HANG-CHAU in the 13th Century. Metropolitan City of HANG-CHAU in the 13th Century. From the Notes of the Right Rev. G.E. Moule. _Fang_ of SI-NGAN FU. Communicated by A. Wylie. Stone _Chwang_ or UMBRELLA COLUMN, one of two which still mark the site of the ancient Buddhist Monastery called _Fan-T'ien-Sze_ or "Brahma's Temple" at Hang-chau. Reduced from a pen-and-ink sketch by Mr. Moule. Mr. PHILLIPS' Theory of Marco Polo's Route through Fo-Kien. Scene in the BOHEA MOUNTAINS, on Polo's route between Kiang-Si and Fo-Kien. From _Fortune's Three Years' Wanderings_. Scene on the MIN RIVER below Fu-chau. From the same. The KAAN'S FLEET leaving the Port of ZAYTON. The scenery is taken from an engraving in _Fisher's China_, purporting to represent the mouth of the Chinchew River (or River of Tswan-chau), after a sketch by Capt. (now Adm.) Stoddart. But the Rev. Dr. Douglas, having pointed out that this cut really supported _his_ view of the identity of Zayton, being a view of the _Chang-chau_ River, reference was made to Admiral Stoddart, and Dr. Douglas proves to be quite right. The View was really one of the Chang-chau River; but the Editor has not been able to procure material for one of the Tswan-chau River, and so he leaves it. BOOK THIRD
