Excerpt from The Journal of the Ceylon Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, 1886, Vol. 9 AT the time when I wrote my treatise concerning the Veddas of Ceylon, and their relations to the neighbouring races, it was not possible for me to obtain a single satisfactory scientific description of the principal race of the Island, viz., the Sinhalese. What I was able to ascertain concerning them is stated on page 60 and the following pages.' My disappointment was great at not seeing the large caravan which Herr Hagenbeck brought to Europe in 1883.
