[Footnote 50: This forms a part of the Appendix to the Voyage of Saris, Purch. Pilg. I. 394; where it is joined to the end of observations by the same author on the trade of Bantam, formerly inserted in this Collection under their proper date.--E.] [Footnote 51: This account is very vaguely expressed; but in the title in the Pilgrims, the sales are stated to be in _masses_ and _canderines_, each canderine being the tenth part of a masse. The information contained in this short subdivision is hardly intelligible, yet is left, as it may possibly be of some use towards reviving the trade of Japan, now that the Dutch are entirely deprived of their eastern possessions.--E.] [Footnote 52: These articles, in italics, are unknown.] The hundred cattees of vermilion are worth from three to six hundred.
