  213.  Plan of SOUTHERN PART of the CITY of KING-SZÉ (or Hang-chau),
          with the PALACE of the SUNG EMPERORS. From a Chinese Plan
          forming part of a Reprint of the official Topography of the
          City during the period _Hien-Shun_ (1265–1274) of the Sung
          Dynasty, _i.e._ the period terminated by the Mongol conquest
          of the City and Empire. Mr. Moule, who possesses the Chinese
          plan (with others of the same set), has come to the
          conclusion that it is a copy at second-hand. Names that are
          underlined are such as are preserved in the modern Map of
          Hang-chau. I am indebted for the use of the original plan to
          _Mr. Moule_; for the photographic copy and rendering of the
          names to _Mr. Wylie_.

          this a “Missionary Map of Amoy and the Neighbouring Country,”
          on a large scale, sent him by the _Rev. Carstairs Douglas_,
          LL.D., of Amoy. This contains some points not to be found in
          the others.
