PLATE XXII. 
In the monotonous jungles, stretching between Hambangtotte and Batticaloa, the exciting 
influence of sport affords ample compensation for the scarcity of fine scenery prevailing in most 
of the. other districts. The low boundless forests, intercepted with numerous tanks and grassland 
are in some places stocked with all kind of game. 
I have tried in plate XXII. to give an idea of the exciting moment, when the native trackers 
have led the sportsman within a few yards of the monarchs of the wilderness and the work of 
the rifle begins.
