CHARGING COW ELEPHANT 



This member of the herd, at some unaccustomed sound, wheeled upon Mr. Akeley and 

 stood momentarily with ears widespread and trunk thrashing wildly, then charged 

 —a powerful onslaught of female elephant vengeance. It is not difficult to 

 approach an elephant herd in the jungle if great caution be exer- 

 cised, but it is exceedingly difficult to get away again. 

 [This remarkable elephant portrait was used as cover 

 design of the February Journal, 1912]
