On the other hand, Ferrand has traced the name in an Arabic work, in the form Lang-Saka, and has identified it with Marco Polo’s Lochac. On the strength of these and fresh Chinese evidences, he has located Lang-kia-su on the eastern coast of the Malay Peninsula, in the Isthmus of Ligor.² Indeed the passage which Ferrand has quoted from Chavannes’ ‘Religieux Eminents’ (pp. 78 and 100), seems to leave no doubt on the point. If, therefore, Cœdès’ identification of Leṅkasuka with Gunong Jerai be accepted as definitely proved, we must hold that it was different from Lang-kia-su.
