to reduce those prefectures and districts and mountain strongholds within its jurisdiction which had not yet submitted, and to massacre those who had submitted and rebelled again. »

  1.  ( YS, 11, 1 a) : « [In the 17th chih-yüan year, ... the first month,] ... on [the day] wuch'ên (February 27, 1280), a ' moving Grand Secretariat ' was established at Fu-chou. »

  2.  (YS, 11, 2 a) : « In the 17th chih-yüan year, ... the fourth month, ... on [the day] ping-shên (May 25, 1280), ... as it was not expedient to have the three [moving] Secretariats of Lung-hsing, Ch'üan-chou and Fu-chien, order was given to the Court officials to deliberate in common [on the subject] and to make a report. »

  3.  ( YS, 11, 2 a) : « [In the 17th chih-yiian year,] ... the fifth month, ... on [the day] kueich'ou (June 11, 1280), the [seat of the] ' moving Secretariat ' of Fu-chien was transferred to Ch'üanchou. »

  4.  ( YS, 11, 2 b) : « [In the 17th chih-yüan year,] ... the seventh month, ... on [the day] chi-yu (August 6, 1280), the ' moving Secretariat ' of Ch'üan-chou was transferred to Lung-hsing. »

  5. (YS, 11, 5 a) : Mention is made of a report sent in by « the tso-ch'êng of the ' [moving] Secretariat ' of Fu-chien, P'u Shou-kêng ».

  6. ( YS, 12, 4 a) : « In the 19 th chih-yüan year, ... the ninth month, ... on [the day] jên-shên (October 18, 1282), an order was issued that P'ing-luan (in Ho-pei), Kao-li (Corea), Tan-lo (Quelpaert), as well as Yang-chou (see ' Yangiu '), Lung-hsing and Ch'tian-chou should build together 3000 vessels, big and small. » The last three names are clearly those of « moving Secretariats ».

  7. (YS, 12, 6 b) : « In the 20th chih-yüan year, ... the third month, ... on [the day] ting-ssü (April 1, 1283), the General administrative office of the Inspectorate of foreign trade (shih-po tsung-kuan-fu) of Fu-chien was abolished, but the t'i-chii-ssü was retained. The ' moving Secretariat ' of Ch'üan-chou was [suppressed and] merged in the ' moving Secretariat ' of Fu-chien.» This shows that, contrary to the notices of the geographical section, a « moving Secretariat » of Ch'üan-chou and a « moving Secretariat » of Fu-chien had co-existed.

  8. ( YS, 12, 7 a) : « [In the 20 th chih-yüan year, ... the third month, ] ... on [the day] jên-wu (April 26, 1283), the hsüan-wei-ssü of the circuit (tao) of Fu-chien was suppressed; the moving Grand Secretariat ' was re-established at Chang-chou. » This is the text which was quoted, but at second-hand, by PHILLIPS.

  9. ( YS, 13, 1 b) : « In the 21st chih-yüan year, ... the second month, ... on [the day] hsin-ssü (February 19, 1284), the hsüan-wei-shih of Fu-chien, Kuan Ju-tê, was made ts'an-chihchêng-shih of the ' moving Secretariat ' of Ch'üan-chou. »

  10. (YS, 13, 3 b-4 a) : « [In the 21st chih-yiian year,] ... the ninth month, ... on [the day] chia-shên (October 19, 1284), ... the Grand Secretariat said : ' The food supplies for the army are extremely scarce in the « moving Secretariat » of Fu-chien, and have to be transported

rom [that of] Yang-chou, which entails many delays and errors; it would be more convenient to merge the two [moving] Secretariats into one, and to order detailed Secretariat officials to reside at Ch'üan-chou.' An Imperial edict [prescribed] that the chung-shu yu-ch'êng [in charge of] the affairs of the ' moving Secretariat ' Mang-wu-t'ai (the same as the Mêng-ku-tai of text No. 1) should be p'ing-chang chêng-shih (see ' Bailo ') of the ' moving Grand Secretariat ' of Chiang-huai and
