Drawn from his classic account of Ceylon, the former colonial secretary’s study describes the elephant’s structure and senses, its habits in the wild, the stories told by the islanders, and the slaughter of elephant shooting. The second part gives an eyewitness account of a great kraal, in which whole herds were driven into a stockade and the captives tamed.
A classic of natural history, of interest to elephant lovers and readers on colonial Sri Lanka. Download the free EPUB.
