2 INSCRIPTIONS IN ST. PAUL'S CHUKCIJ, MALACCA. 



Another Dutch document found in Malacca, of which I give 

 a translation (D), shows that at one time there were a good 

 many coats of arms hanging on the walls of the church, but these 

 have all disappeared. 



A few stones, which were lying about loose, were removed 

 several years ago by Mr. D. F. A. Hervey, late Resident Coun- 

 cillor Malacca, to the present Protestant Church (Christ Church) 

 at Malacca, where they still remain. The inscriptions on these 

 are, however, almost entirely illegible. 



In concluding these few remarks, I desire to acknowledge 

 the great assistance rendered to me by the late Mr. P. Nuy, 

 Librarian of the Malacca Library, and formerly a member of this 

 Society, in deciphering the inscriptions on the tomb-stones. The 

 two Portuguese inscriptions (Nos. 1 and 24) were deciphered 

 and translated by Mr. H. L Noronha.
