Abstract: In a meeting of the Batavian Society of Arts and Sciences held on 3"* June, 1879, Mr. K. F. Holle drew attention to an inscribed stone reported to exist, together with a large-sized pirogue, somewhere in the Native State of Koetei, East Borneo. Inquiries subsequently made from the Assistant Resident of Koetei proved the report to be true. That official in a letter dated 9"' September of the same year informed the Batavian Society that some inscribed stones and other relics of the Hindu period did exist at Moeara Kaman, three stages above .Pelarang and that on the same spot the remains of a Chinese junk were found. On the 26'" August, 1880, the Assistant Resident sent a further communication to the effect that His Highness, the Sultan of Koetei, had generously decided to present the four inscribed stones to the Society and that they were ready to be despatched to Batavia at the first opportunity. They arrived before the close of the year and were deposited in the archaeological section of the Batavia Museum. *
