(Tuban) and that it was to the W. <strong>of</strong> «Great Sh6-p'o» and <strong>of</strong> Su-ki-tan,—CentralJava. Crawfurd,<br />
History, ir, 297, says that in the twelfth century mention is made <strong>of</strong> a state <strong>of</strong> Janggolo in the<br />
present district <strong>of</strong> Surabaya in eastern Java.<br />

KW^ANTAN (?).<br />
(Malay Peninsula).<br />
Tan-ma-ling (H ,% ^).<br />
The kingdom <strong>of</strong> Tan-ma-ling ^ is under a ruler who is addressed as<br />
10 Siang-Jcung^ (i^ ^).<br />
The city is surrounded by a palisade six or seven feet thick and over<br />
15<br />
twenty feet high, strong enough to be mounted for fighting purposes.<br />
The people <strong>of</strong> this country ride buffaloes, wear their hair done in a knot<br />
behind (^ ^) and go barefooted.<br />
Officials live in wooden houses, the common people in bamboo cottages,<br />
the walls being filled in with leaves and the poles fastened with rattan.<br />
The native products comprise yellow wax, laka-wood, the su (variety <strong>of</strong><br />
gharu-wood) incense, ebony, camphor, elephants' tusks, and rhinoceros horns.<br />
The foreign traders barter for them with silk parasols, kittysols, silks<br />
20 <strong>of</strong> Ho-ch'i^ ('/^ ^i\^ 2^1 ^|),<br />
samshu, rice, salt, sugar, porcelain basins,<br />
bowls and the like common and heavy articles, and bowls <strong>of</strong> gold and silver.<br />
Ji-lo-t'ing, Ts'ien-mai, Pa-t*a and Kia-lo-hi are <strong>of</strong> the same kind<br />
(W. itB) ^^ ^^^ country*.<br />
This country (<strong>of</strong> Tan-ma-ling) collects together such gold and silver vessels<br />
25 as it receives, while Jii-lo-t'ing and the other countries make assorted collec-<br />
tions, and these they <strong>of</strong>f^er to San-fo-ts'i as tribute.<br />
Notes.<br />
1) Takakusu (Record <strong>of</strong> the Buddhist Eeligion, XLIII—XLV) thought he saw in this<br />
name the TanaMalayu <strong>of</strong> de Barros' list <strong>of</strong> Sumatran kingdoms. Schlegel(T'oung-pao,2d sex.<br />
30 II, 130) looked for it also in Sumatra. Pelliot, B. E. F. E. 0. IV, 328, while not trying to locate this<br />
district, calls attention to the fact that there is an important affluent <strong>of</strong> the Pahang river called<br />
the Tembeling. Gerini, J. K. A. S., 1905, 498 identifies our Tan-ma-ling with Temiling or<br />
Tembeling, the name <strong>of</strong> a cape and a hill near the mouth <strong>of</strong> the Kwantan river in Pahang, on<br />
the E. coast <strong>of</strong> the Malay Peninsula. «Probably, he says, it (Tan-ma-ling) is the old designation<br />
35 borne by the present Kwantan district, and should not be confounded with Tembeling or Tembelang,<br />
