MYINGYAN

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 112 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOS-NAN
MYINGYAN , a
district
  in the Meiktila division of Upper Burma. It lies in the valley of the Irrawaddy, to the south of Mandalay, on the
east
  bank of the river. Area, 3137 sq. m. Pop. (1901), 356,052, showing an increase of 1% in the decade and a density of 114 inhabitants to the, square mile. The greater part of the
district
  is flat, especially to the north and along the banks of the Irrawaddy. Inland the country rises in gently undulating slopes. The most noticeable feature is Popa hill, an extinct volcano, in the south-eastern corner of the district. The highest peak is 4962 ft. above sea-level. The climate is dry and healthy, with high south winds from March till September. The annual rainfall averages about 35 in. The temperature varies between ro6 and 700 F. The
ordinary
  crops are millet, sesamum,
cotton
 , maize, rice, gram, and a
great
  variety of peas and beans. The district as a whole is not well watered, and most of the old irrigation tanks had fallen into disrepair before the annexation. There are no forests, but a
great
  deal of low scrub. The lacquer
ware
  of Nyaung-u and other villages near
Pagan
  is noted throughout Burma. A considerable number of Chinese inhabit Myingyan and the larger villages. The headquarters town, MYINGYAN, stands on the Irrawaddy, and had a population in 1901 of 16,139. It is the terminus of the branch railway through Meiktila to the main line from Mandalay to Rangoon. The steamers of the Irrawaddy Flotilla Company also
call
  here. A
cotton
 -pressing machine was erected here in the time of independent Burma, and still exists.
