Excerpt from Elephant Seladang Hunting in the Federated Malay States

Elephants are to be found in a wild state all over the Malay States, seladang not so generally but since my own hunting has been done chiefly in the Selangor and Negri Sembilan States, my remarks concerning the habits and peculiarities of these animals are principally based on my experiences in those two southern states.

The big game of the Malay Peninsula com prises elephant, seladang, rhinoceros, tiger, and tapir; but I intend to confine myself to the description of the hunting of the two former animals, since of tiger-hunting there is but little, while rhino are now scarce except in most inaccessible places, and tapir, although plentiful, afford no trophies for the big-game hunter.
