THIRD SUPPLEMENTARY PAPER ON 
THE MONUMENTAL REMAINS OP THE DUTCH EAST 
INDIA COMPANY OP CEYLON.* 
By F. H. DB Vos, Barrister-at-Law, and Member of the Society 
of Dutch Literature, &c., of Leyden. 
The recent discovery in Jaffna by Mr. J. P. Lewis, C.C.S., 
of two more Dutch tombstones has suggested the necessity 
of this Paper. They were found hidden under the flooring 
of one of the two sets of stalls which were probably set up 
in English times in the " chancel " of the Dutch Reformed 
Church in Jaffna. Of one 1 enclose a sketch. The other is 
a small plain tombstone with a portion of the left side of it 
sliced off and the foot hidden under the masonry of the base 
of the Commandeur's pew next to the stalls. Mr. Lewis 
thinks that the first stone was lifted from its original 
position in the floor underneath to make a floor for the stall, 
which is eight or ten inches higher than the floor of the 
church. The second stone was put in at some time to 
, complete the floor. These stones have been removed from 
their position and let into the pavement of the church. These 
tombstones were neither of them in situ — probably removed 
from the former church. 
As regards Thomas Nagel,t Hendrina Philipina Vos was 
probably his first wife. This tombstone used to be in the 
premises of a house in the Pettah, Jaffna, which is said to 
have belonged to Thomas Nagel.
