Remarks. — What relation Abraham Philipsz, Maha Muda- * 

 liyar, Colombo, 1783 A.D. (who married Plautina Pereira) was 

 to Henricus Philipsz, the Predilmnt, I have not been able to 

 ascertain. Most likely the Eev. Mr. Philipsz was the father. 

 Mr. de Bruyn, Hervormde Kerk in Ned. O. I., says at page 

 436 that there were in Ceylon three Predikanten of the 

 name of Philipsz, two of them being father and son. 



Piafte 39, L.Z., Galle. 



Translation. — Hereunder lies buried the body of Elizabeth 

 Margarita Heynen, wife of the Gezaghebber of Galle, Iman 

 de Jonge. Born at Batavia, 29th March, 1689, and died in the 

 resthouse at Amblangodde, in the District of Galle, on the 

 4th December, 1735, and buried on the 5th. Aged 45 years 

 8 months and 5 days. 



Remarks.— The Navorscher (Dutch Notes and Queries), 

 XLL, p. 472, discusses this inscription thus : — " In Rietstap's

 kt married (1) at Batavia, 5th May, 1707, Joan Fredrik Gobius, 

 u who died at Malacca, 13th October, 1730 ; and (2) at Malacca. 

 " 7th October, 1731, Iman de Jonge], depicted in the Lapi- 

 u darium Zeylanicum, this coat is found, but with thi^ 

 " difference, that there (in the quarterings) there is no hind 

 u but a stag, no three roses but three stars, no rampant but 

 u a passant lion. We do not put much trust in the infalli- 

 bility of the engraver or copyist, the more so as in a 

 " manuscript of the end of the 18th century the quartering^

 44 or a red eagle (Roman) ; 4. azure a silver lion armed and
