BUDDHA IN CEYLON.—Buddha's visits to Ceylon left an ineradicable imprint on Ceylon's way of life, and, as pictures, statues, and buildings throughout the island show, upon its culture. E. F. C. Ludowyk's book, “The Footprint of the Buddha" (published by Allen and Unwin), tells how the Buddhist heritage is linked''with the story of Ceylon. The book's illustrations do justice to a rich field for photographic art, as is shown by the picture above of pillars of the Vatadage, or Circular Relic House, in Polonnaruva, once known as one of the three “buried cities" of Ceylon.
