List of some of the Technical Terms used in 

 connexion with the Training of Elephants* 



Balei Chelong — The covered in enclosure in front of the stocks. 

 Here the trainer receives his friends and visitors. 



Tiang Guru — A stout post in the middle of the bahi chelong. 



It is used as a table, and on it are kept all the para- 

 phernalia used in connexion with the elephant's train- 

 ing. It is sprinkled with tepong taivar before the 

 training begins, and may not be touched by any one 

 but the trainer. 



Galang renat — Stout beams laid on the ground, upon which planks 

 (termed kayu renat) are laid. The flooring of the 

 stocks is this above the level of the ground, and the 

 place is easily drained. 



Anak Chelong — The two great posts between which the ele- 

 phant's neck is firmly held. 



Galang rusok — The two beams which are fastened at one end 

 to the anak chelong, and, running along the elephant's 

 ribs, prevent it from moving its body to right or left. 



Galang dada — A stout beam, supported on forked sticks, which 

 passes under the elephant's chest, and thus prevents 

 it from lying down. 



Sengkala — Hobbles which bind the forelegs together, and the 

 hind legs together. 



Chanang — A small piece of wood fastened between the two anak 

 chelong to prevent the elephant from pushing a fore 

 foot between the posts.
