The numbers in the columns marked " Obverse " and " Reverse " 

 refer to the number of punch marks on the coin. No. 66 is the 

 copper silvered coin. It is broken, and probably weighed several 

 grains more. 



Note. — Since writing the above I have noticed, in the Colombo 

 Museum coin cabinet, a Kurumbar coin which supports my idea, 

 of the comparatively late survival of the eldlings. In this coin 

 the head of the bull on the obverse has been quite obliterated 

 by punch marks similar to those on eldlings. The swastika for 

 one is plainly visible. The Kurumbars flourished broadly from 

 the 6th to the 9th century.
