Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
THATON , a town and
district
  in the Tenasserim division of Lower Burma. The town is situated below a hill range, Io m. from the sea. It was formerly the

  of the
Talaing
  kingdom and a sea-port. Pop. (1901) 14,342. The
district
  has an area of 5079 sq. m.; pop. (1901) 343,510, showing an in-crease of 29 per cent. in the decade. It was formerly a sub-division of
Amherst
