________________ AUGUST, 1874.] MEDIEVAL PORTS OF WESTERN AND SOUTHERN INDLA. 213 ancient ports of Malabar, now disappeared from the maps. It stood near Vadakarré. See Commentary on Ibn Batuta (ante, p. 183). Calicut, 57, 70, 178, &c. Cannanore, 59, 71, 83, 150, 161, 168, &c. Kananur. Chunpa, 71; Chumpana, 117, 120. Chomba, near Mahi, Chombalah in Atlas of India. Dabool, 174. Dábhol. Diu Mahal. Though the form of the name suggests the Maldives (Dhibat-al-Mahal), the fortress of Diu seems, from the context, to be meant. Doot, 174. Coupled with Wasee (or Bassaim) and places in Gujarat, 175 (?). Durmuftun, 52-54, 59, 71, 120, 123, 150, 174. Dharmapattan, below Kananur. Funan, 125, 128, 149: Timan, 70; Tunan, 118. Ponáni. Fundreeah, 51, 54, 71, 75, 87, 88, 117, 118, 120, 143, 157, &c. Fandaraina, Pandarani, once a famous port north of Calicut : see Geog. of Ibn Batuta (ante, p. 183). Goa, 162, 164, 165, &c. Honnore, 154. Hondwar. Huba ee Mura wee, 54; Hubbee Marawec, - 59, 151. Misreading for ili Jariri: sco Goog. of Ibn Batuta (ante, p. 183), and Marco I'ulo (vol. II. p. 322). Kabkat, Kabkad, 70, 118, 157, 158. Capocad, Capogatto, &c. of the old Portuguese, a few miles north of Calicut, where the Zamorin had a palace. Perhaps Kupotangadily of the Atlas ? Ka eel, 141, 149, 160. The famous port of Kával, in Tinneveli (see Marco Polo, II, 307). Kaluftee Island, 152. One of the Lakhadives. Probably a misreading for Kulfani. Kálpani of Wood; Kalpeni of the Chart. Kanjercote, 51, 54. This place was between Mt. D'Eli and Mangalur. Perhaps the Cau- sergode of the Indian Atlas, which is Cussercotta of Rennell. The latter indeed calls the Nileśvaram river Canjacora ; and the river of Cangerecora is according to De Barros the boundary between Kanara and Malabar. But as De Barros places Nileśvaram in Malabar, the river of Cangerecora will be more probably the river of Causergode, whatever be the proper form of that name. See Kotokulum.' Karaftan, 174. Karapattan, the same, I believe, as Gherinh or Viziadurg. Kotokulum, 175. Cota Coulam of De Barros comes in his list as the first place in Malabar between the frontier at Cangerecore and Nilichilão, i.e. Nilestaram. It must have been about Daikal, the Baicull of the Atlas. Korde e b Island. Spoken of as one of the Lakhadives. The Chart shows only a shoal so called now. Perhaps Cooruti Island of the Chart ? Kumharee, Kambarn, 51, 58; Kumari or Comorin. In the first passage it seems to stand for Cape Comorin ; in the second for a State, the Comari of Marco Polo, and of the early Portuguese (see Ramusio, I. 333). And this was probably identical with Travancore. See Travankad below. Kurkur, 149. "In the month of Jumadee II. in the year 960 (May 1553) news arrived of the death of the chieftain Alee of Room, who had fallen a martyr when fighting against the Franks before Kurkur." I cannot trace name nor fact. Kushec, 12, 71, &c. Cochin. Kuzangaloor, Cadungaloor, 12, 47, 50, 53, 71, 118. Cranganore. Malacca, 15+. Mangalore, 51. Mangalur. Meela poor, 153. Muilápar, or San Thome. near Madras. Meilee, 71, 120. Coupled with Chunpa or Chumpann, Cannanore, &c. Mahi? unless it be a misreading for Hili. Milaeed, 153. Probably a careless printer's reading of Malacca. Moluccas, 153. Mulkee Island, 152. Spoken of as one of the Lakladives (?). Munjiloor, 154, 161. Mangalur. Nagapatam, 153. Nazo ourum, 71. By the context is to the south of Dharmapattam ; a peak of the ghêts behind Mahi is called in the chart Nanduwaram Peak. Nillaneez, 141. Said to be about halfway between Bentalah (supra) and Malabar (?). Parpoorangore, Parpoorengore, Poorangar, &c. 70, 117, 134, 167, 171. Purpurangari, Perepen Angarry, Purpenangady of Indian Atlas below Bêpar. Pumoor, 167. Coupled with the preceding and with Tanûr. Perhaps for Purinoor, q. r'. Pnnka eel, 149. Pranei-Kdydl, near Kiyal.
