THE INDIAN ELEPHANT. The Indian or Asiatic Elephant is still found wild in various parts of Asia, but is also largely domesticated and 



iised as an animal of state by rajahs, princes, etc, and is also trained for purposes of sport, more particularly for hunting the Tiger. The herd in the illus- 

 ration with the female Elephant and her young one in the foreground is a characteristic group. The small ears and less powerful tusks which distinguish 

 this from the African species will be noted. (Elephas asiaticus.)
