JOURNAL, R.A.S. (CEYLON). [VOL. XIIL 



Tekkwatte Estate, 

 Kandy, March 23, 1893. 



Bear Sir, — In reply to your letter of the 21st instant, I shall have 

 much pleasure in undertaking the compilation of an Index to the 

 above Society's Publications, and will use every care in its preparation. 



I presume that you desire an Index to the titles of the various 

 Papers comprised in the Society's Journals, &c, giving the names of 

 the authors, and the number and date of the issue in which each 

 appeared. I am glad also to learn that you will be able to send the 

 books here. I would suggest that they be sent in instalments, arranged 

 consecutively according to date. After making a list of the contents 

 of each instalment, it would be returned for the one next in order. 

 The lists would, when completed, be re-arranged in the form of an 

 alphabetical index. Each instalment might consist of one package of 

 the weight of (say) 40 lb., or several, as most convenient. 



I could begin the work on, say, the 7th April, and in the meantime 

 such suggestions as I have made are of course subject to your approval.
