of the elephant occurred to some
Dutch B0015, who travelled in the
year 1792 to the eastward of the I
Cape of Good Hope, in search at
the place vrhsrc the Grosvcnor Ir-
rcniarlgglile, and the authenticity of

called in question.-Thi‘3 animal,
after laztvirg received into his body
several Lgrgclmusltet balls, and twice
fallen to the ground, crept with dif-
ficulty into a thick thorny coppicc.

hiding-place, he laslacd his proboscis
round the body of one of them who

of thirty lcct into the air; the other
