ists in Central Africa,
and the Arabs call it Aboukarn.

{251} Kouang-Ti, was a celebrated general who lived in the third century
of our era, and who, after many and famous victories, was put to death
with his son. The Chinese, indeed, say that he did not really die, but
that he ascended to heaven, and took his place among the Gods. The
Mantchous, who now reign in China, have named Kouang-Ti the tutelary
spirit of their dynasty, and raised a great number of temples in his
honour. He is ordinarily represented seated, having on his left hand his
son Kouang-Ping, standing, and on his right, his squire, a man with a
face so very dark, as to be almost black.

{264} The Kiang-Kian are the highest dignitaries of the military
hierarchy in China; they are decorated with the red button. Each
province has a Kiang-Kian, who is its military governor, and a
Tsoung-Tou, or viceroy, who is its chief literary Mandarin.

{268} On Andriveau-Goujon's map, this place is called Chamiton.

{292} Bathang signifies in Thibetian, plain of cows.
