Sri Lanka
Index
This edition supercedes the Area Handbook for Sri
Lanka written by Richard F. Nyrop, et alia, in 1970.
Some parts of that edition have been used in the preparation of
the current book, and the authors of Sri Lanka: A Country
Study are grateful for the seminal work done by the earlier
edition's authors. The authors also wish to thank various members
of the staff of the Embassy of the Democratic Socialist Republic
of Sri Lanka in Washington, D.C. for their assistance.
Various members of the staff of the Federal Research Division
of the Library of Congress assisted in the preparation of the
book. Richard F. Nyrop made helpful suggestions during his review
of all parts of the book. Elizabeth A. Park prepared the
telecommunication sections in chapters 3 and 4. Robert L. Worden
researched the data used in preparing maps for the book, and
Carolina E. Forrester checked the content of all of the maps and
reviewed the text of the section on geography. Arvies J. Staton
contributed to the figures on military ranks and insignia. David
P. Cabitto, Kimberly Lord, and Paulette Marshall did the
illustrations; David P. Cabitto, Sandra K. Ferrell, and Kimberly
Lord prepared the graphics. Martha E. Hopkins edited portions of
the manuscript and managed editing of the book; Marilyn L.
Majeska edited portions of the manuscript and managed production;
and Izella Watson and Barbara Edgerton performed word processing.
Others who contributed were Harriet R. Blood, who assisted in the
preparation of maps; Mimi Cantwell, Richard Kollodge, Ruth
Nieland, and Gage Ricard, who edited portions of the manuscript;
Catherine Schwartzstein, who performed final prepublication
editorial review, and Shirley Kessel of Communications

under the direction of Peggy Pixley. The inclusion of photographs
in this book was made possible by the generosity of various
individuals and public and private agencies.
