In a paper published in the January issue of this Journal, under the title “ To the East of Samataṭa ”, Professor Padmanath Bhattacharya Vidyavinod has proposed a new interpretation of a well-known passage in Hiuantsang, concerning the countries situated in the east of Samataṭa (Eastern Bengal). These six kingdoms were not visited by the pilgrim, but known to him by hearsay. Here are their names, together with the identifications generally admitted: —
1. Shih-li-ch'a-ta-lo = Śrikṣetra (Prome);
2. Ka-mo-lang-ka (Tenasserim ?);
3. To-lo-po-ti = Dvāravatī (Lower Siam);
4. I-shang-na-pu-lo = Īśānapura (Cambodia);
5. Mo-ha-chan-p'o = Mahā-Campā (Annam);
6. Yen-mo-na-chou = Yavadvīpa (Java) [?].

I beg to retain here the French spelling, “ Hiuan-tsang ” ; according to the usual English system of transcription, it should be “ Hsüan-tsang ”. As to the form “ Yuan Chwang ”, it is undoubtedly inaccurate, as Professor Pelliot has demonstrated in his review of Watters' book, Bulletin de l'Éole Française d'Extrême Orient, v, 424. (I shall cite this periodical henceforth as BEFEO.)
