308 ADVENTURES OF AN ELEPHANT HUNTER CH.XXXV 



This elephant, whose tusks weighed 99 and 

 105^ Ibs., proved to be well known to the natives of 

 the district, owing to one of the toes of his right 

 foot being much larger than the others, and hence 

 they had given him the name of ' Cherunda.' 

 During the few years previous to the death of 

 my boy, Cherunda had managed to account for 

 several native hunters.
