CHAP. IV. JAVA. 417 of the earliest being that of Herr J. W. Ijzerman l on the country between Surakarta and Jogjakarta (1891). His work includes all the temples in the vicinity of Prambanan and a con- jectural restoration of the temple of Kali-Bening, unfortunately drawn to so large a scale that the elevation is on two sheets as also the plan. An excellent map of the country also is given with four photographs of the monastery of Sari, which are of great interest. Dr. J. Groneman, 2 working in the same district, has given sixty-two photographs of one of the most important temples, i.e., that at Loro Jonggrang. The plan of this temple is given in a third work by Albert Tissandier, 3 who spent some time both in Java and Cambodia measuring the temples of which the plans are published in his book, as also many valuable photo- gravures. The temples on the Dieng Plateau, described in a work by Herr von Saher, 4 had already been photographed by the Batavian Society, from which series some have been repro- duced. Two monographs have also been published, one by Herr Kersjies and G. den Hamer 5 on the small temple of Mendut, 2 miles from Boro-Budur, and the other, by Dr. J. E. A. Brandes, as the first volume of the Archaeological Survey on the temple of Jago in the eastern part of the island, 6 followed by a second volume on Singasari and Panataran, in all cases with much architectural detail and excellent plans. A large number of plans and elevations have also from time to time been published in the Reports of the Government Commission appointed in 1 90 1, 7 of which five volumes have appeared. The same subject is also treated in General de Beylie's work, 8 dealing generally with architecture in India and the extreme East.
