6. The inscriptions are not complete, and the face of the rock is 

 gradually decomposing. Perhaps it would be pos?ible to save the 

 rest from obliteration and decay, if the patent liquid which I be- 

 lieve has lately been used in England, and France, for preservation 

 of stone-work, could be applied. Captain Philipps thinks this

With reference to the memorandum published at page 1,197 of 

 the Fort Saint George Gazette of the 14th instant, regarding the 

 Annual Return of In'eresting Memorials, I have the honor to in- 

 form you that in my letter of the 15th December 1858, No. 2,792, 

 a Report on the Inscription Stones on the Anantasagaram Kalvai 

 and Kalur Tank Bunds was forwarded and no interference with 

 them was recommended. This Report was noticed in paragraph 1 

 of the Proceedings of Government, dated 14th April 1859, No. 882, 



2. Since that time, one other relic of by-gone days has been 

 insited by me, and an account of this work, the Fort of Udiagiri, 

 was entered in my Inspection Report for the month of February 

 last. 



3. I did not understand that an Annual Summary was required 

 of all such investigations, but I beg now to enclose a Statement 

 containing the information originally furnished in the documents 

 above noticed. 



4. With regard to paragraph 4 of my letter No. 2,792, of the 

 15th December last, I may add that application has been made to 

 the Collector for such information on the subject of the ancient 

 works of the country as the Huzur and Taluq records can afford.
