by a shooting tax, the Ceylon elephant
is now said to be increasing, and, unlike
our buffalo, to DO recovering its numeri-
cal status. Maternal love is tenderly
shown IN elephant life. When an alarm
sounds the little ones are surroundedYby
the herd, and then the mighty mass is
off in headlong fear. A baoy has been
seen fleeing with its little trunk twisted
about its mothers tail.
The Singhalese, as has been spoken Of
above, with reference to the picture of
tho line OF elephants equipped for an ele-
plant huat, hunt the ueast with his own
kind. The wild ones, urged on by an
army OF bsaters, perhaps 1000 or 5000
strong, and engaged, it may be for a
fortnight IN the hunt, gradually vacate
the various recesses of large tract OF
Jungle and come to the entrance of their
stockads or kraal. Once inside, the tame
elephants caiole the captives and finally,
with the aid OF starvation and bonds,
make good Indians OF them. The ele-
plant is a noble swimmer. 1t was once
necessary to send troop OF seventy

those creatures swan without touching

extract from letter to the Andover

whsn Old Bet landed on our SHORES. He
says:
An extract or two from letters dated in
