Extract

This paper deals with various specimens received at the Imperial Institute from Ceylon. Some of these specimens were obtained by Dr. A. K. Coomaraswamy at Wa]aweduwa, in the Bambarabotuwa district of the Sabaragamuwa province, during the course of the Ceylon Mineral Survey. Walaweduwa is a little to the north of the Bambarabotuwa locality where thorianite has been found in conslderable abundance. Dr. Coomaraswamy also found specimens in the upper part of the Alupola oya, a stream in the same district. A chemical examination of these specimens showed that titanium dioxide, zireonia, thoria, lime, and iron oxide were the chief constituents.
