It is situated close to the village of Mang Maw, which is noted for its manufacture of rice-busking stones, and contained in 1892 four houses with a population of thirteen, all of them Chinese. The houses were built in the midst of their poppy-fie Ids, of which they have over an hundred acres. They also grow about thirty acres of hill-rice. A KWAI TSA'l-Called by the Shans Son Kwai, a Chinese village on the eastern side of the Salween, in the Kokang circle of the Northern Shan State of Hsen Wi (Thein-ni). It is situated about three miles south-east of the Singhsang ferry and about 2,4oo feet above it. The villagers work the raft at the ferry and go down to take parties over, which is a sufficient proof of the little use that is made of this ferry. In 1892 there were fifteen houses in A Kwai Tsai, with a total population of seventy-seven. They cultivate hill-rice, maize, and Indian-corn, as well as a good deal of poppy. Opium here is, however, somewhat dearer than in Kokang village, the reason for which is not apparent, unless the difficulty of communications in the circle and a short local crop could account for it. The price in 1892 was Rs. 1 1 the viss. A-KYE-A village on the Irrawaddy in the Myitkyina district, with fourteen houses of Lakhum Kachins. Steamers cannot touch here owing to the rocky shore. The population was estimated in 189o at 84. .
