122 TIGERS. 



Bengal, from the circumstance that one Gen- 

 tleman is reported to have killed upwards of 

 three hundred and sixty. I heard Mr. Henry 

 Ramus at the time he was Judge of the cir- 

 cuit ofBahar, declare, that he had killed that 

 number, and I was told that others fell by his 

 hand before his death. He kept a particular 

 account of every one which he killed; of 

 which I suppose his friends are now in pos- 

 session. Having charge of the Company's 

 elephants for many years at a time \vhen the 

 Cosumbazar Island and Patellee jungle were 

 over run with tigers, he enjoyed better op- 

 portunities of killing them, than has fallen to 

 the lot of any other man, even of the German 

 Paul; of whom Captain Williamson has said 

 so much.
