LANKAN CATALOG INDEX SOUGHT

  Kavan Ratnatunga writes: "My interest is in coins that
  circulated in Lanka, for which the primary reference is
  Codrington's Coins and Currency of Ceylon published
  in 1924. It lists (pp 36-45) many ancient Greek and
  Roman coins which have been found in Ceylon.
  However, the identifications given are to

  1) G.C.H.C. Greek coins in the Huntarian Collection.
           Vol III George MacDonald, Glasgow, 1905

  2) C. Medailles Imperiales, H. Cohen, Paris 1880-1892

  3) T. Monnaises Byzantines, J. Tolstoi, Petersburgh 1912

  Please let me know if anyone has worked out a cross
  index from these catalog references to those of modern
  catalogs, as online in websites such as wildwinds.  Any
  advice on how to create such an index will also be
  appreciated.

  With best regard
