Third edition. Evans notes in the Preface that this text is a revision of the earlier work on elephants originally written by Mr J. Slymm, Deputy Conservator of Forests in Burma. The text moves from detailing general information about elephants and their habits, into specific diseases and parasites that can infect them, with a number of remedies and treatments for such ailments. The tipped-in slip makes an appeal to readers of the guide, asking 'to assist by kindly favouring with careful notes on cases, specimens of parasites, &c., in order that, should it be found desirable to bring out another edition, it may be more complete.'.
