The Travels of Marco Polo

[Mr. Phillips writes (T. Pao, I. p. 222 seq. (The Identity of Marco Polo’s Zaitun with Changchau). He says (p. 222–224): “Eighty‐five li beyond Lan-ki hien is Lung-yin, a place not mentioned by Polo, and another ninety‐five li still further on is Chüchau or Keuchau, which is, I think, the Gie-za of Ramusio, and the Cuju of Yule’s version. Polo describes it as the last city of the government of Kinsai in this direction. It is the last Prefectural city, but ninety li beyond Chü-chau, on the road to Pu-chêng, is Kiang-shan, a district city which is the last one in this direction. Twenty li from Kiang-shan is Ching-hu, the head of the navigation of the T’sien-T’ang river. Here one hires chairs and coolies for the journey over the Sien-hia Pass to Pu-chêng.” —H. C.]
