Map of HANG-CHAU FU and its LAKE, from Chinese Sources.

The Map as published in the former edition was based on a Chinese Map in
the possession of Dr. W. Lockhart, with some particulars from Maps in a
copy of the Local Topography, _Hang-Chau-fu-chi_, in the B. Museum
Library. In the second edition the Map has been entirely redrawn by the
Editor, with many corrections, and with the aid of new materials,
supplied by the kindness of the Rev. G. Moule of the Church Mission at
Hang-chau. These materials embrace a Paper read by Mr. Moule before the
N. China Branch of the R. As. Soc. at Shang-hai; a modern engraved Map of
the City on a large scale; and a large MS. Map of the City and Lake,
compiled by John Shing, Tailor, a Chinese Christian and Catechist;
