He Must Have Taken It,
Besides, Without The Proverbial Grain Of Salt, And Without Eliminating The
Over-Numerous 'thousands' And 'myriads' Prompted Less By Facts Than By
Patriotic Enthusiasm And Poetical Licence."

BRIDGES OF KINSAY.
In the heart of Hang-chau, one of the bridges spanning the canal which
divides into two parts the walled city from north to south is called Hwei
Hwei k'iao (Bridge of the Mohamedans) or Hwei Hwei Sin k'iao (New
Bridge of the Mohamedans), while its literary name is Tsi Shan k'iao
(Bridge of Accumulated Wealth); it is situated between the Tsien k'iao on
the south and the Fung lo k'iao on the north. Near the Tsi Shan k'iao
was a mosk, and near the Tsien k'iao, at the time of the Yuen, there
existed Eight Pavilions (Pa kien lew) inhabited by wealthy Mussulmans.
Mohamedans from Arabia and Turkestan were sent by the Yuen to Hang-chau;
they had prominent noses, did not eat pork, and were called So mu chung
(Coloured-eye race). VISSIERE, Rev. du Monde Musulman, March, 1913.

KINSAY, KHANFU.
Pelliot proposes to see in Khanfu a transcription of Kwang-fu, an
abridgment of Kwang chau fu, prefecture of Kwang chau (Canton). Cf. Bul.
Ecole franc Ext. Orient, Jan.-June, 1904, p. 215 n., but I cannot very
well accept this theory.
LXXX., pp. 225, 226. "They have also [in Fu Kien] a kind of fruit
resembling saffron, and which serves the purpose of saffron just as well."
