to8 TQREEN'S VOYAGE. 



There are many forts of animals in this 

 country, but this dry foil cannot fupport them 

 in great numbers. The nabob had a very 

 large and fierce tiger in a cage. In another 

 place I faw a lefs one, marked with flripes 

 acrofs; but its fnout, gair, and eyes, gave 

 him the appearance of a wolf. If you fleep 

 in a farmer's room at night, it is not uncom- 

 mon to hear the howling of the jackcall ° (Ca- 

 ms aureus Linn.) round the houfe. The na- 

 bob had likewife fome elephants in his pof- 

 feffion, which are only made ufe of when he 

 and his family have a mind to fhew themfelves 

 on fome feftival. During our Hay we faw the 

 gratitude of an elephant: a foldier in the 

 Dutch fervice ufed to go into the governor's 

 ftables, and to feed an old elephant with the 

 rice which he had about him ; he once came 

 To drunk to him that he tumbled down under 

 the animal, and fell afleep between its feet ; 

 but the elephant guarded hiih fo carefully,' 

 that fcarce a fly dared to come near him. 



Horses are very rare and valuable animals
