A History of Fine Art in India and Ceylon, from the Earliest Times to the Present Day c8.147

² See *Architectural Remains, Anurādhapura, Ceylon: comprising the Dágabas and certain other Ruined Structures*. Measured, drawn, and described by James G. Smither, F.R.I.B.A., late Architect to the Government of Ceylon. Sixty-seven Plates. Published by order of the Ceylon Government (Atlas folio, N. D.). The drawings, finished in 1877, were not published until 1894. I am indebted to the liberality of the Government of Ceylon for a copy of this splendid work. An immense amount of further research has been done since. Seven Reports by Mr. H. C. P. Bell, Archaeological Commissioner, deal exclusively with Anurādhapura, which is largely treated also in his *Annual Reports* from 1890 to 1907. The latest received is that for 1907, printed as Sessional Paper V of 1911. Mr. Parker (*Ancient Ceylon*, p. 300) gives good reasons for believing that the real Abhayagiri is now miscalled the Jetavana. The true Jetavana, according to him, stands to the east of the Sela Chaitya.
