ON THE WEST COAST OF CEYLON 7 b 



as follows : fourteen spotted deer, two " red deer," 

 three bears, one porcupine, one leopard, one pig (a 

 very large boar I shot when sitting up one night 

 by mistake for a bear), — total, twenty head of big 

 game. Besides this we had killed three pea-fowl, 

 some jungle -fowl and quail, and a number of teal 

 and snipe. 



Times are changed since then, and I doubt if a 

 couple of sportsmen would be able to kill two head 

 of big game over the same ground in the same 

 time.
