354 THE HIGHLANDS OF CENTKAL INDIA. 



about twenty-five feet long, of a leaden colour, and about 

 as thick as a large man s thigh. I have seen one killed in the 

 same jungles, which measured sixteen feet in length. They 

 are of a very sluggish disposition, and do not molest man. 

 The stories of their swallowing spotted deer whole, antlers 

 and all, I believe to be utter myths.
