Sir, 



I have the pleasure to enclose a list of the Singhalese Numerals up to 

 ten thousand. It may be that these are known to many Members of the 

 Society, but they are certainly almost obsolete at the present day, and I 

 had so much difficulty in obtaining them, that I think it possible that 

 some one may be saved trouble by having this table before him.
