' Mr. P. E. Pieris, C.C.S., kindly allowed me to examine some 

 Roman coins in his possession. They were found at or in the

 and included the following : — 



Constantius II., No. 1. I Honor ius, No. 7.

Galle. 



In April, 1906, I obtained the following Roman coin in a 

 jeweller's shop in the Fort of Galle : —

Note.-— Probably the coins from Hikkaduwa, Gintota, and 

 Galle all form part of some find made in that neighbourhood. 



Matara. 



Mr. J. P. Lewis obtained two Roman coins from the rest- 

 house-keeper at Matara some years ago. One of them, which 

 he kindly let me see (and has since presented to the Colombo 

 Museum), is a large copper coin of Galerius Valerius Maxi- 

 mianus, No. 1 in the list. 



Arcadius, No. 6. 

 Honorius, No. 2.
