Report on the Mackenzie Manuscripts. 



Remark. — This paper I suppose to be enigmatical as to the well? 

 and the stone building. The former may denote a profitable monopoly 

 in the oil trade. The latter any device by which the death of the king 

 was procured. There was something similar in the result to this in a 

 Malayalam paper before noticed ; perhaps both incidents may be one 

 and the same, narrated in different manners. 



Note. — This section was so much damaged as not to be capable of 

 complete restoration. The sense is defective only in one place : the re- 

 mainder is coherently re-copied. 



All that remains of the book is in so hopeless state of destruction, by 

 insects, that no three consecutive words can be . put together ; and the 

 whole is, by consequence, irrecoverable. The head sections in English 

 are so injured as not to preserve connexion. I therefore copy them out 

 from their previous entry in Des. Catal. vol. 2, p. XCIX. art. VIII. 



4. Account of Teruvangode otherwise called Teruvatan-gode-Yill'dge. 



6. Account of the mountaineers residing on the Panmalla hill in 

 the Travenkur district.
