From about 1627 the Dutch, from 1647 the English, East India Companies had branches in Burma under junior representatives. These branches were closed from time to time, and, although profits were occasionally considerable, the disturbed state of the country made steady trade impossible. Both factories were at Syriam, and in 1677 the Dutch finally withdrew.²
