Translation. — Here rests the Hon. Cornelis van der Parra, 

 during his life Koopman and Secretary of the Island of 

 Ceylon. Born here in Colombo, 31st January, 1687. Died

 his daughter Susanna Magareta, wife of the Onderkoopman 

 and Dispencier Daniel Schorer. Born 5th April, 1695. Aged 

 19 years 5 months and 20 days. As also her little daughter. 



Arms. — Coupe : au 1 d'or a l'aigle de sa. au 2 d'azur au chev. 

 d'arg. acc. de trois poires du meme les queues en haut. 



Crest. — Une aigle. 



Remarks. — There is some mistake here in dates. The 

 daughter could not have been born in 1695 if the father was 

 born in 1687. Cornelis van der Parra was married to Ger- 

 truida Susanna Sparuyt. He had a son Rombout, baptized in 

 Galle, 18th October, 1710, There is also a mistake in the date 

 on the epitaph of the wife of Rombout van der Parra (Plate 

 93). The year 1607 is before the Dutch occupation. It may 

 be that the Rombout referred to in Plate 93 is different 

 from the Rombout baptized in Galle. The wife of the 

 former was probably the daughter of Magnus Wichelman, 

 Administrateur of Galle, and Susanna Durhee, who died 

 in Galle, 3rd July, 1693.* The Durhee arms are found on the 

 sinister impalement in the coat in Plate 94, L.Z., the birds,
