SINHALESE EARTHENWARE. 141 
are usually metal. Some potters (at Kelani) make an alms-bow! 
for presentation to a priest, with every batch of pots turned out. 
A good deal of pottery in Colombo is nowadays imported from 
Southern India. The Tamil earthenware is considered of very 
good quality. 
The Karti Mavigalya, incorrectly spelt Katti on page 4 of the pre- 
vious paper, has no connection with the presentation of robes, but 
is the Sinhalese festival corresponding to the Hindu Dipavali, 
when innumerable lamps are used. 
For ptinakalé (p. 16), ptimdwa is a more usual term. 
For wrakotta, (p. 11) read traketa; the uraketa are usually 
of wood, hollowed segments of a large tree. 
On page 4, note, the right word is no doubt tdliya. 
Finally, I shall be very grateful for any further corrections or 
additional information.
