77. See *SII.* iii No. 128. After this fine edition of the plates by Krishna Sastri, we might well have been spared the belated publication with negative plates in 1925 (*IA.* Vol. 54 pp. 61 ff) of a paper contributed by T. A. Gopinatha Rao and another in 1911. This paper begins with the wild statement that the seal of these plates 'belongs to the Pāṇḍya king Jaṭilavarman, one of whose documents is also found in the Museum.' I examined the seal and found it true to the fac-simile in *EI.* iii. plate p. 104, No. 3, which again very closely resembles the seal of the Tiruvālaṅgāḍu plates of Rājēndra (plate opp. p. 413 in *SII.* iii).
