Thomas (P. Z. S. p. 101,1911.), 



points out that Linneeus him- 



No. 332. maximus, L. self gives the type locality of 



maximus as Ceylon.' Lydekker 



however asserts that there are two 



races of elephants in Ceylon, an indigenous and an imported, and 



holds that it was on one of the latter that the name was based. 



He thus recognises two forms which lie distinguishes as follows: —
