TUsKLFss ELEPHANTS.
Ceylon the Only Part of the World
Where They Exist.

What sight for a Ceylon elephant
hunter would be the first view of
herd Of African elephants-all tUs-
kers! It is a singular thing that
Ceylon is the only part of the world
where the male elephants have no
tusks; they have miserable little
gTubbers projecting two or three
inches from the upper jaw and in
clining downward.
Nothing produces either ivory or
horn in fine specimens througout
Ceylon. Although some Of the buf-
faloes have toIerably fine heads, they
will not bear a comparison with
those of other countries. The horns
of the native cattle are not above
four inches Ia length.
The elk and the spotted deers ant
lers are small compared with deer
OF their size in India This is more
singular, as it is evident from the
geological formation that at some re-
mote period Ceylon was not an is
land, but formed a portion of the
