page 994 note 1 Mr. Whiteway, in his Rise of Portuguese Power in India, p. 133, says that in the early part of 1510 Yūsuf was “ just dead ”; but he gives no authority for the assertion.

page 995 note 4 Given in Com. of Af. Dalb., iii, 20–1. Unfortunately, like most of the letters printed in this work, there is no date. The version given in the edition of 1774 varies from that printed in the first edition of 1557.

page 995 note 5 This may represent ‘ Malū Khān’ (the son of Ismāīl), or possibly the person intended may be the ‘ Mealecan’ referred to below.

page 996 note 1 Mr. Beveridge has fallen into an error in saying that “ Mr. Whiteway refers to Briggs' translation of Ferishta ”: the reference to Ferishta is Yule's.

page 996 note 2 Mr. David Lopes, on p. lvii of the introduction to his Chronica dos Reis de Bisnaya, supports Barros in this matter against Couto.

page 996 note 3 See also Rise of Port. Power in India, pp. 133–4, note, where Mr. Whiteway states that Couto “says that the Sabaio was a Hindu chief in Kanara, whose sons he knew personally. These sons laughed heartily when Couto read them Barros's derivation of the word Sabaio; their father, they said, was neither a Turk nor a Yusaf.”
