(5) *Cf.* 'Within this and rising from a ledging of cut stone 4 feet high and 3 broad, stand the walls of the temple, a perfect circle about 20 feet high and 2 thick, with a handsome cornice of brick encircling the top. The whole appears to have been coated with five pilaster small parts of which still adhere. I examined closely but could not discover the smallest appearance of its ever having had a roof.' Lieut. Fagan.—(An Account of the Ruins of Topary, *Ceylon Govt. Gazette*, Aug., 1, 1820, *Ind. Ant.*, Vol. XXXVIII, p. 110, c. 1, para 1, line 24.)
