Excerpt from Spolia Zeylanica, Vol. 5: Issued by the Colombo Museum, Ceylon
The appearance of the island is pleasing plants of low meadow like grass with clumps of suriya trees here and there, under which are the huts of the islanders, who are all fishers and of Pariah caste, but fine, strong-looking men. They all wear the rain cap made of palmyra ola, which is worn by the people of the neighbourhood of Chavakachcheri in the wet season, and which from its shape, not unlike the canoe cap of the British private, gives them a sort of smart appearance. It is decidedly effective, cheap, and useful.
