57. WHEELER, J. TALBOYS. _History of India_ (vol. iii. pp. 385-393) contains a resume 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.
58. DE SKATTSCHKOFF, CONSTANTIN. _Le Venitien_ Marco Polo, _et les services qu"il a rendus en faisant connaitre l"Asie_. Read before the _Imp. Geog.
Society_ at St. Petersburg, 6/18 October, 1865; translated by M. Emile Durand in the _Journ. Asiatique_, ser. 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 Makdashau, 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.

Russian Geog. Society.
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. Asiatic Society_ will contain a more important paper, viz.: _Remarks on Marco Polo"s Travels to the North of China, derived from Chinese Sources; by the_ ARCHIMANDRITE PALLADIUS. This celebrated traveller and scholar says (as I am informed): "I have followed up the indications of Marco Polo from Lobnor to Shangdu, and in part to Peking.... It would seem that I have been so fortunate as to clear up the points that remained obscure to Yule." I deeply regret that my book cannot now profit by these promised remarks. I am not, however, without hope, that in the present edition, with its Appendices, some at least of the Venerable Traveller"s identifications may have been antic.i.p.ated."
The greater part of the notes of my late friend, the Archimandrite Palladius Katharov, have been incorporated in the present edition of Marco Polo.--H.C.
