“It is to be noted that Kesmacoran is a combination of Kech or Kej and Makrán, and the term is even to-day occasionally used.” (Major P. M. Sykes, Persia, p. 102.)—H. C.]

We may add a Romance definition of India from King Alisaunder:—

“Lordynges, also I fynde,

At Mede so bigynneth Ynde:

Forsothe ich woot, it stretcheth ferest

Of alle the Londes in the Est,

And oth the South half sikerlyk,

To the cee taketh of Affryk;

And the north half to a Mountayne,

That is yclepèd Caucasayne.”—L 4824–4831.
