The battle took place, not in the
Yung Ch'ang plain, but in the territory of the Shan Chief of Nan-tien. The
official description of China under the Ming (Ta Ming yi lung che, k.
87, 38 v deg.) tells us that Nan-tien before its annexation by Kublai 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."
