In the end of last year M. Delaporte went out to Cambodia, commissioned by the French Govern ment and supported by that of Cochin China, for the purpose of exploring further the mysterious and gigantic architectural remains which abound in Cambodia, the origin and purpose of which have so exercised archeologists. M. Dela. porte was accompanied by a large staff, and on his arrival at Phnom Penh, the capital of Cam- bodia, proceeded directly to the célebrated ruins of Angkor. These he examined with great minuteness, and, according to a just-published statement, belleves he has been able at last to solve the difficult problem of the purpose of the religious buildings of this ancient metropolis of Indo-Chinese civilization. His discoveries have led him to the interesting and unexpected con- clusion that these ancient Khmer temples were dedicated to Brahminism. At Angkor Wat he detached from the higher parts the chift d'œuvre of Cambodian sculpture; bas-reliefs, once bril liantly gilt; pediments, all. the subjects of which M. Delaporte maintains, down to those which decorate the most secluded sanctuary, are de- voted to the exploits of Rama and the glories of Vishnu. At Angkor-Tom, M.
