[227] San Pablo and Tiburones.  Cf.  Droysen and Andree’s Historischer Hand Atlas, 1884, Karte 83; also Admiralty Chart, Sec. xv, 767.—­Stevens.

[228] Inarajan, now confined to the port on the southeast coast of Guajan, the southermost of the Ladrones.—­Stevens.

[232] In the museum of the Colegio de Agustinos Filipinos at Valladolid, Spain, is a tablet bearing the following inscription (in English translation):  “On the twenty-sixth of April, 1521, died on this spot, while fighting valiantly, Don Hernando Magallanes, general of the Spanish fleet, whose name alone is his greatest eulogy.  Desiring that the memory of the place where so famous and fatal an event took place should not perish, and circumstances not permitting us at this time to erect a monument worthy of the heroic discoverer, this present inscription is religiously and humbly consecrated, as a memorial, by the parochial priest of the island, the reverend father Fray Benito Perez, on the twenty-ninth of February, 1843.”  This tablet is about three feet by one and one-half feet in size, and is made of molave wood; the letters (capitals) are neatly carved in the wood—­the work being done, in all probability, by some native under the priest’s supervision.  Attached to the tablet is a card, bearing the following inscription:  “This inscription, cut in molave wood, was accidentally found by the very reverend father Fray Jorge Romanillos, the present parish priest of Opong, in the island of Mactang, where it stood beside a cross, before the erection of the monument.  He sends it as a memento to the royal college of the Augustinian Fathers of the Filipinas, at Valladolid, in the year 1887.”

[236] “They did not find Cattigara” is as true today as when Maximilian wrote in 1522.  For various conflicting authorities upon its site north of the equator, cf. ante p.312, and McCrindle’s Ancient India, 1885, p.10.  Ptolemy however places it (Asia Tab. xi) nine degrees south of the equator.  For a curious chapter upon this point see Manoel Godinho de Eredia’s Malacca, edited by Janssen, Brussels, 1883. 4to, part 3.  Why not Kota-Radja at the north end of Sumatra?—­Stevens.
