The form in which cloth is now used for writing on is of a different kind, it is that of ‘kaḍatam’ as it is termed in Canarese, and this is (so far as I am aware) used only by the Canarese of all the peoples of India, though the Siamese have precisely the same, and the Bataks of Sumatra use a kind of cloth which is folded in the same way though it differs from the Canarese and Siamese material in being light-coloured.
