Note {1} — Chapter LXXII
Henry Yule translation
Note 1.—No place in Polo’s travels is better identified by his local indications than this. It is on the Kiang; it is at the extremity of the Great Canal from Cambaluc; it is opposite the Golden Island and Chin-kiang fu. Hence it is Kwa-chau, as Murray pointed out. Marsden here misunderstands his text, and puts the place on the south side of the Kiang.
