Ancient Javanese Remains.

material, one of brick stuccoed, the other of stone elaborately 
wrought. And yet of this form we find no type any where in India 
that I know of; the nearest being those Cashmere temples, but 
altogether different in their style and ornamentation.* They must 
have had a common original. Where was it P It is impossible to 
suppose that Buddhists in India were familiar with certain styles of 
building, and when emigrating, or driven forth, to two very different 
quarters of the further East, developed a new style and that sub¬ 
stantially the same in each case. The natural and general belief is 
that the emigrations from India to Java took place from the coast of 
Kalinga and Orissa, and the name of Kling, given by the Malays to the 
Indians among them, confirms this notion. But there is no resem¬ 
blance whatever in the plan of these edifices to the great temples of 
that coast, such as Bhobaneswar, Juggurnath and Kanarak. Baf¬ 
fles has a tradition of connexion with Guzerat; and it is possible that 
in Western India the original type may be found. I have never 
seen any drawing of the temple of Somnath except a very coarse 
one in the Society’s Journal, and in that there are some remarkable 
traces distinguishable of the same style, I am not able to go a step 
in solving the problem, but I think I show that there is a problem to 
solve—if there were but anybody now-a-days among us who cared 
about such problems !f 
P. S.—Though the matter has no relation to the subject of the 
preceding paper except as being connected with Java, it may be 
interesting, with reference to the late discoveries of stone celts in 
Central India, which formed the subject of a communication from 
Mr. H. P. Lemesurier some time ago, to mention a very fine collec¬ 
tion of celts which I saw in Java. 
The possessor was Mr. Kinder Van Camarecq, the Besident of the 
province of Bagelen, in the south of the Island. His collection of 
stone weapons numbered some 200 specimens, found in all parts of 
* The' general period of the Javanese Buddhist temples as stated by Crawfurd 
(Bra mbanan 1266-1296; Boro Bodor 1338) is not very different from that of 
the great temples at Pagan (1066-1200). 
t The roughness of the drawings supplied in illustration of this paper requires 
apology. I have had to prepare them under a great pressure of other work, in 
winding up my Indian service, and amid the duties of a laborious office.
