Note {4} — Chapter LXXX

Note 4.—Padre Martini long ago pointed out that this Quelinfu is Kien-ning fu, on the upper part of the Min River, an important city of Fo-kien. In the Fo-kien dialect he notices that l is often substituted for n, a well-known instance of which is Liampoo, the name applied by F. M. Pinto and the old Portuguese to Ningpo.
