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.  In 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 [Kublai’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-yuean 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 Tiao-men and Li-Chou [Ts’ing-k’i Hien in Ya-chou Fu] for the purposes of Tu-fan trade.  In 1280 more Mongol troops were sent to the Li Chou region, and a special officer was appointed for T’u-fan [Tibetan] affairs at the capital.  In 1283 a high official was ordered to print the official documents connected with the suean-wei-sz [governorship] of T’u-fan.  In 1288 six provinces, including those of Sz Chw’an and An-si, were ordered to contribute financial assistance to the suean-wei-shi [governor] of U-sz-tsang [the indigenous name of Tibet proper].  Every year or two after this, right up to 1352, there are entries in the Mongol Annals amply proving that the conquest of Tibet under the Mongols was not only complete, but fully narrated; however, there is no particular object in carrying the subject here beyond the date of Marco’s departure from China.  There are many mentions of Kien-tu (which name dates from the Sung Dynasty) in the Yuean-shi; it is the Kien-ch’ang Valley of to-day, with capital at Ning-yuean, as clearly marked on Bretschneider’s Map.  Baber’s suggestion of the Chan-tui tribe of Tibetans is quite obsolete, although Baber was one of the first to explore the region in person.  A petty tribe like the Chan-tui could never have given name to Caindu; besides, both initials and finals are impossible, and the Chan-tui have never lived there.  I have myself met Si-fan chiefs at Peking; they may be described roughly as Tibetans not under the Tibetan Government.  The T’u-fan, T’u-po, or Tubot, were the Tibetans under Tibetan rule, and they are now usually styled ‘Si-tsang’ by the Chinese.  Yaci [Ya-ch’ih, Ya-ch’i] is frequently mentioned in the Yuean-shi, and the whole of Deveria’s quotation given by Cordier on p. 72 appears there [chap. 121, p. 5], besides a great deal more to the point, without any necessity for consulting the Lei pien.  Cowries, under the name of pa-tsz, are mentioned in both Mongol and Ming history as being in use for money in Siam and Yung-ch’ang
