Elephants are gregarious, and the aver

they frequently form bodies j of fifty or even
eighty in one troop. Etch herd consistaof
a very hrrize proportion of females,and they
are con s tantly met without ,a single bull in
thin number. I have seen some small
herds formed r %elusively of bulls, but this is
very rare. The bull is generally much
larger than the female, and is generally more
savage. Ills habits frequently induce him
to prefer solitude to a gregarious life. He
then becomes doubly vicious ! He seldom
strays many miles from one locality, which
.t:e haunts •for.,anany years. He then be
comes what is termed a 'rogue.' He then
waylays the• natives, and in fact becomes a'
