NO. 52. — 1901.] DUTCH MONUMENTAL REMAINS. 55 



Wickelie Ponsi Appuhamy is claimed to be the founder 

 of the Tillekeratne family. Of Wickelie Ponsi Apohami, 

 Governor Ryclof van Goens (junior) writes as follows in his 

 Memorie to his successor Laurens Pyl, A 1679 : — " The 

 Attacalan and Colona Corle, together with the lands of Roene, 

 are entrusted to the Sub-Dissave Ponsje Appuhami, otherwise 

 called Mende Corle Dissave, from whom, on one side, and 

 from the more artful Tennecon Dissave on the other, the 

 Company can have much assistance if Raja Singha happens 

 to die. But so long as that king lives may it please your 

 honour not to think of further extension of territory, but 

 wisely to preserve and protect what is now peacefully 



possessed." —
