PADDY CULTIVATION IN CEYLON 

 DURING THE XIXTH CENTURY. 



Derryclare Estate, 



Kotagala, Ceylon. 



Sir,— In Mr. E. Elliott's article in 

 October " T.A" on " Paddy Cultivation 

 in Ceylon during the XlXth Century," I 

 note he mentions a "Mr." Rodney. 

 This is evidently meant for my maternal 

 great-grandfather. Captain the Hon'ble 

 John Rodney, R.N., who was Colonial 

 Secretary of Ceylon from, I think, 1806 

 to 1833. He was a Captain in his own 

 right as also an Hon'ble, having been in 

 the Navy prior to coming out to Ceylon, 

 and being the third son of Admiral 

 Lord George Brydges Rodney, R.N. 



Yours faithfully, 



J. R. MANNERS.
