PLATE XIX. 
A very industrious part of the population in Ceylon consists of Tamils ог Malabars, who 
have gradually immigrated from the continent to the north of the island. 
Plate XIX exhibits the portraits of two malabar girls in their pretty costume, formed of one 
single shawl, and bearing upon their persons bracelets, chains, nose- and ear-rings.
