ABSTRACT
The road from Trincomalee to Kantalai, a distance of twenty-six miles, differs little from that to Horawapotana except in so far as the timber appears older and more magnificent, the trees often touching overhead to form a green arcade. In my experience, this is a road much frequented by monkeys, and on it the keen photographer can have a busy time attempting to take pictures of these fascinating but wary animals. As Kantalai possesses, in my opinion, the most beautiful tank in Ceylon, I hope I may be able to persuade the traveller to linger there by a brief description of this delightful locality.
