Klaproth pointed out the true position of Tenduc in the vicinity of the
great northern bend of the Hwang-Ho, quoting Chinese authorities to show
that _Thiant_ or _Thiant?Kiun_ was the name of a district or group of
towns to the north of that bend, a name which he supposes to be the
original of Polo”s _Tenduc_. The general position entirely agrees with
Marco”s indications; it lies on his way eastward from Tangut towards
Chagannor, and Shangtu (see ch. lx., lxi.), whilst in a later passage (Bk.
II. ch. lxiv.), he speaks of the Caramoran or Hwang-Ho in its lower
course, as ‘coming from the lands of Prester John.’
