With regard to the amount of turnover of the ear as an indica- 
tion of age it must be remembered that exceptions occur ; occasion- 
ally one may meet with an elephant of five or six years with a 
turnover of an inch, but no one would be likely to take such a 
beast to be thirty or even ten years. 
Again, a youngster may be seen with the edge of one ear 
turned while the other is perfectly straight. In judging the approxi- 
mate age all such like exceptions must be taken into account. [See 
Part I, page 4.)
