WHEELER, J. TALBOYS. History of India (vol. iii. pp. 385-393) contains a résumé of, and running comment on, Marco Polo's notices of
India.
Mr. Wheeler's book says ; " His travels appear to have been written at Comorin, the most southerly point of India " (p. 385). The words that I have put in Italics are evidently a misprint, though it is not clear how to correct them.
DE SKATTSCHKOFF, CONSTANTIN. Le Vénitien Marco Polo, et les services qu'il a rendus en faisant connaître l'Asie. Read before the Izzz~. Geog. Society at St. Petersburg, - October, 1865 ; translated by M. Emile Durand in the Jouni. Asiatique, sér. VII. tom. iv. pp. 122-158 (September, 1874).
The Author expresses his conviction that Marco Polo had described a number of localities after Chinese written authorities ; for in the old Chinese descriptions of India and other transmarine countries are found precisely the same pieces of information, neither more nor fewer, that are given by Marco Polo. Though proof of this would not be proof of the writer's deduction that Marco Polo was acquainted with the Chinese language, it would be very interesting in itself, and would explain some points to which we have alluded (e.g., in reference to the frankincense plant, p. 396, and to the confusion between Madagascar and Mal;dashau, p. 413). And Mr. G. Phillips has urged something of the same kind. But M. de Skattschkoff adduces no proof at all ; and for the rest his Essay is full of inaccuracy.

Sir Henry Yule wrote in the Addenda of the second edition :
" And I learn from a kind Russian correspondent, that an early number of the J. N. China Branch R.
