NOTES

The following notes relate to the more obscure items in the foregoing index.

Anfião de Malva-Opium from Malwa, an area in W. Central India, which together with Benares and Patna were the main opium growing areas. I am indebted to Mr. J. M. Braga for this identification, which defeated students of Portuguese in Hong Kong.

Cumsingmoon-Kap Shui Mun, the straits between the N.E. point of Lantao Island and Tsing I Island.

Cutch=The commercial name of the catechu obtained from Acacia catechu, used in tanning (O.E.D.)

Nankeens-Either a kind of yellow cotton cloth, originally made in Nanking, or trousers made of this material.

Safflower=Dried petals of Carthamus tinctorius, a thistle-like plant cultivated in the Mediterranean region, India and China for the red dye obtained from the flowers, also used in the making of rouge.

Hong Kong June, 1973.
