Il en venait également de l'île de Chypre. Sorti des manufac-

tures d'Espagne ou importé dans le royaume, á partir de 1442,

date d'une ordonnance royale publiée par le P. Saez, le bougran

le plus fin payait soixante-dix maravédis de droits, sans distinc-

tion de couleur " (FRANCISQUE-MICHEL, Recherches sur le

commerce, la fabrication et l'usage des étoffes de soie, d'or et

d'argent... . IL, 1854, pp. 33-4). Passage mentioned by Dr.

Laufer.

XLV., pp. 46 n.2 49 Seq.

Referring to Dr. E. Bretschneider, Prof. E. H. Parker gives

the following notes in the Asiatic Quart. Review, Jan., 1904,

p. 131 " In 1251 Ho-érh-t'ai was appointed to the command of

the Mongol and Chinese forces advancing on Tibet (T'u-fan).

[In my copy of the Yüan Shi there is no entry under the year

1254 such as that mentioned by Bretschneider ; it may, how-

ever, have been taken by Palladius from some other chapter.]

In 1268 Mang-ku-tai was ordered to invade the Si-fan (outer

Tibet) and Kien-tu [Marco's Caindu] with 6000 men. Bret-

schneider, however, omits Kien-tu, and also omits to state that in

1264 eighteen Si-fan clans were placed under the superintendence

of the an-fu-sz (governor) of An-si Chou, and that in 1265 a

reward was given to the troops of the decachiliarch Hwang-li-t'a-rh

for their services against the T'u fan, with another reward to the

troops under Prince Ye-suh-pu-hwa for their successes against

the Si-fan. Also that in 1267 the Si-fan chieftains were

encouraged to submit to Mongol power, in consequence of which

A-nu-pan-ti-ko was made Governor-General of Ho-wu and other

regions near it. Bretschneider's next item after the doubtful

one of 1274 is in 1275, as given by Cordier, but he omits to

state that in 1272 Mang-ku-tai's eighteen clans and other

T'u-fan troops were ordered in hot haste to attack Sin-an

Chou, belonging to the Kien-tu prefecture ; and that a post-

station called Ning-ho Yih was established on the T'u-fan and

Si-Ch'wan [= Sz Ch'wan] frontier. Ins 1275 a number of Princes,

including Chi-pi T'ie-mu-r, and Mang-u-la, Prince of An-si, were

sent to join the Prince of Si-p'ing [Kúblái's son] Ao-lu-ch'ih in

his expedition against the Tu-fau. In 1276 all Si-fan bonzes

(lamas) were forbidden to carry arms, and the Tu-fan city of

Hata was turned into Ning-yüan Fu [as it now exists] ; garrisons

and civil authorities were placed in Kien-tu and Lo-lo-sz [the

Lolo country]. In 1277 a Customs station was established at
