I HAVE just found in Nakamura's ``Kimmō Dzui,'' first edition, 1666, Book xvi. fol. 7b, a Japanese wood-cut of Indian corn, with its Japanese and Chinese names as I gave in my previous letter (p. 392, ante). This figure proves that, though Kaempfer does not mention the plant in his ``History of Japan,'' 1727, yet, through his seeing to it, he must have recognised as a fact the introduction of maize to Japan before the time of his sojourn in it; for most illustrations of the biological objects in his noted ``History'' (vol. i. tab. ix.-xiv.) are actually found to have been reproduced from the above-mentioned, once very popular, Japanese cyclopædia (Books xii.-xv.).
