[Footnote 421: Kochi, the Japanese name for Kochin China, seems to have
been used in a vague and comprehensive sense for Southern China, and we
understand by _Kochi yaki_ the old pottery shipped from the coast towns
of Fukien and Kuangtung. This category in Japan seems to include not only
a variety of earthenware with coloured glazes--green, yellow, aubergine,
turquoise, and violet--but the coarser, yellowish white wares of the _t´u
ting_ (see p. 90) type. See Brinkley, op. cit., vol. ix. p. 29.]
[Footnote 422: On the subject of pottery among the Dyaks in Borneo, see H.
Ling Roth, _The Natives of Sarawak and British North Borneo_, vol. ii., p.
284; A.W. Neuwenhais, _Quer durch Borneo_, vol. ii., plate 40; Hose and
McDougall, _The Pagan Tribes of Borneo_, 1912, vol. i., pp. 64 and 84,
and plates 46-48. See also A.B. Meyer, _Alterthümer aus dem Ostindischen
Archipel_.]

[Footnote 424: A little flask in the Victoria and Albert Museum (Case
24, No. 809, 1883) of this type of ware with a green glaze was obtained
in 1883 in the neighbourhood of Canton. Possibly a portion of this group
comes from one of the Canton factories, but it is the kind of ware which
might have been made in any pottery district, and there are quite modern
examples of the same type of glaze and biscuit in the Field Museum of
Chicago which were manufactured at Ma-chuang, near T´ai-yüan Fu, in
Shensi.]
[Footnote 425: See p. 219.]

[Footnote 427: Ching is the name of the old state of Ch´u, which included
Hunan and Hupeh, so that the expression here used covers an enormous tract
of Central China. See _T´u shu_, section _T´ao kung pu tsa lu_, fol. 2.]
[Footnote 428: _T´u Shu_, section _T´ao kung pu chi shih_, fol. 2 recto.]
[Footnote 429: [Chinese] and [Chinese].]
[Footnote 430: This appears to mean that the glaze covering up the reliefs
filled all the surrounding hollows and made an even surface.]
[Footnote 431: i.e. ware of the Hsüan Tê period (1426-1435 A.D.).]
[Footnote 432: _T´u Shu_, section _T´ao kung pu hui k´ao_, fol. 10.]
[Footnote 433: _O.C.A._, p. 637.]

Manchester.]

quoted in the encyclopædia, _T´u Shu_, section xxxii, _T´ao kung pu chi
shih_, fol. 1 verso.]

rebels in 1853.]
