i*?raaining in this particular part of the building, the mofl numerous 

 are Aatues of Buddha, and there are at leaft ten or twelve of ^H<^ male 

 divinity, images of which both in brafs and (lone, are exceedingly 

 frequent on Java^ but I cannot take upon me to fpecify its iiame or 

 identify it v/ithany ©f the Gods of Hindu mythology. 



To the prefent group of buildings there are two entrances, both to 

 the v/e(lern fide, and each guarded by a pair of the gigantic warders

 prefent domellic habits, wholly foreign to the real obje6l of thefe flruc-
