² For a good summary account of Indian ivories of all kinds, see Watt and P. Brown, *Indian Art at Delhi*, especially pp. 172–93. Several official monographs treat the subject provincially, and describe the art of ivory carving as practised in Bombay, Bengal, Assam, Burma, Southern India, the Panjāb, and the N. W. P. and Oudh (now the U. P. of Agra and Oudh). They are printed separately, and also in vol. ix of *J. I. A. I.* An account of the Ceylon ivories will be found in Dr. Coomaraswamy's work on *Mediaeval Art*. The Kandy statuettes are reproduced by Codrington, *Notes on some of the Principal Kandyan Chiefs and Headmen, and their Dresses* (Colombo, Government Printer, 1910).
