213 These were the elephants seized by Nicholas Overschie in 1645, 
which, it appears from this, had never been returned to the King, 
though Maatzuyker in one of his earliest letters to Raja Si^ha (see 
supra) had promised that they should be. 
214 I do not know who this Portuguese captive was. 
21^ Part of manuscript torn off. 
216 Perhaps Nicolaus Loenius referred to in Maatzuyker's letter of 
11th September, 1646, supra.

on 10 Nov., 1644, the services of the Chaliyas were to be available to 
both parties. 
21^ Galloluwa in the Negombo District. 
219 I cannot identify this person. 
220 Maarschalk sailed at the end of July, 1649, for Batavia, where 
doubtless his services were duly recognized by the Council. 
221 Ingurugala ? (I cannot identify this place.)
