TYGER TRAP. 
many months of patient industry. What then must have been the 
labour of cutting them from the solid rock, and excavating the vast 
chambers in which they are deposited? 
The monuments of Kanareh are esteemed more ancient than those of 
Elephanta. The figures of the latter can be explained by modern In¬ 
dians, who point out amongst them the different personages of the Hindu 
Mythology; but those ofiKanareh are left in obscurity, as none of the 
figures there have the manifold legs, arms, heads, &c. which distinguish 
those of Elephanta, but appear to be only representations of mere mortals. 
Indeed we were forcibly struck with this idea on comparing a real and 
living Indian, who happened to be seated close to a sculptured one, in 
nearly a similar attitude; for their features, size, and form, were so much 
alike, that except the motion of the live one, it was difficult, at a distance, 
to distinguish the one from the other. On the whole, we were of opinion, 
that the caves of Kanareh, collectively, were more wonderful than 
those of. Elephanta, although not one of the former equals the magni¬ 
ficence of the largest of the latter. 
On our return we found a repast spread under a magnificent Banian 
tree, at a place called Toulsee. Near to it was a large trap, in 
which, by means of a kid for a bait, the inhabitants sometimes catch a 
tyger.
