considered as generally in good order. There is appended 

 a fragment of a poem entitled Cumaresa-sataca, containing 

 8 leaves, and 29 stanzas ; but not complete. 



No. 1 08 is a plain prose version of the tale, it is slightly 

 touched by insects, but complete. 



No. 109 is another copy in a scrawling hand writing; da- 

 maged in one place, by insects, but for the rest, in good 

 order and complete. 



No. 1 10 is a damaged, and incomplete copy, rather old. 



No. Ill is not complete at the end, but as far as it goes 

 is in regular series, and in good order ; being quite recent, 

 as to palm-leaves and hand writing. 



No. 112 is old and damaged ; the latter portion of different 

 size, and recent appearance. The copy wants the first leaf, 

 5 and two leaves at the end ; the intermediate portion is in 

 connected order. 



The three last copies are of a drama founded on the legen- 

 dary story ; the composition being made up of prose and 

 verse, of the different species termed venpa, virattum, taruvu, 

 and kocha-cavi, as usual in dramatic compositions.*

 notice in the catalogue of the latter, as distinct productions.
