Rljinpceros hunting has, I be- 

 lieve, seldom been painted, though 

 I have known several sportsmen 

 who have had good opportunities 

 of doing so ; perhaps, therefore, 

 an account of a day lately passed 

 in this noble but dangerous diver- 

 sion, may afford some gratification 

 tp your sporting readers. On the 

 25tht ult. our Shekai-ries (or hunts- 

 npien), whom we had sent for in- 

 formation, brought us intelligence 

 of a herd of seven or eight rhino- 

 ceros having taken up their abode 

 in a large swamp, in a village 

 near Baragur, in the Nepal terri- 

 tpj,7. — On reaching the spot with 

 p.ur elephants, seven in number, 

 ajad our shootirg apparatus, we 

 found that eithei- side of the 

 lake for about two hundred yards 

 was clothed with glorious jungle 

 or brushwood for every kind of 

 savage game ; forming a cover of 

 tte?yrly ten feet in height. We had 



seven guns, chiefly double bar- 

 relled ; five of the latter four- 

 ounce rifles. Soon after our party 

 (four- in number) had entered the 

 jungle, the piping of the elepliants, 

 and the prints of rhinoceros' feet, 

 shewed our game to be near j and 

 indeed in less than a few minutes 

 we started two young ones, about 

 the size of a full-grown neel-ghae 

 (a species of elk) and not unlike 

 that animal in colour. The first 

 fire killed one, and wounded the 

 other severely, which, notwith- 

 standing, went off at a smart elk 

 trot, howling in a most hideous 

 manner. The old ones were soon 

 collected round us by the cries of 

 their young, and three males, of 

 monstrous size, and friglitful ap- 

 pearance, charged our line with 

 the utmost impetuosity. Two of 

 our elephants gave way, receiving 

 the charge on their hinder parts, 

 and were instantly upset. Those 

 that stood firm were not knocked 

 down, but staggered several paces 

 by the shock : my elephant was 

 one that gave way, and my situ-
