supposition. On the verge of the jungle 
there is a pile of granite slabs, about ten 
feet long, three feet broad and one foot 
thick, which have evidently formed part 
of a large building. Some of them have 
been set up, carved and used as Palyads, 
being dates about 200 years ago. Cop¬ 
per household utensils are said to have 
been discovered and taken away by the 
laborers. 
To the south of the ruins at Chee- 
marwarra, whence Vamila-pura is said 
to have derived its supply of granite, 
immense peaks of this rock are seen 
rising abruptly from the plain, like 
islands from the sea, the ground between 
them being perfectly plain, and to all 
appearance levelled by the action of 
water. I have supposed that the present 
surface had been formed by an overflow 
of water consequent on some upheaving 
of the Gulf of Cambay—the fact of such 
an upheaving being attested by the 
existence and strata of the island of 
Perim. 
From the appearance of the coun¬ 
try there can be no doubt that it was 
once overflowed, and that the waters 
gradually subsided, leaving the peaks 
of the hills alone uncovered; and to 
this deluge, from whatever cause aris¬ 
ing, must be attributed the ruin of 
Vamila-pura.— H. M. Nicholson , in
