Tan ELEPHAMT80F CEYLON.—Down to a very recant peQod it was universally believed that only two specif of the elephant are now in existence, tho African and Asiatic; distinguished by certain peculiarities in tb shape ot tho cranium, the size of the ears, tho riJg?3 ot" tho teeth, tho number of vr-rtebnc, and, according to Cu., vier, in the number ofnnils on the hind foot, Tho ekpbn; of Ceylon was believed to be idonticul with the elophaut Of India. But some few yeara lack Temminck in hia survey oftbo Dutch possessions int)iolndilArobipalai;o, :1.11. nounced the fact that the elephant which nbounls in Humatra (although unknown in tho adjacorit island oi Java), and which had theretofore bo3n samo spocies with tho Indian one, has beon recently looid to posBo-a peculiarities, in which it ditfors as much ¡rem the olc-phant of India as the latter from its Africall 1:1" goner. On this new species of cleph.m to wh:ch tho B> tives ivc tho name of ya?!, Temminck has conform I ? a collfc)rr?" thoaeicntiSe designation oV the Si;niatrai<<if. Tha pMnta which cntitlo it to this distinction he ct.un'o.? minutely in tho work befoi o to, but th'-y haVu been summarized as follows by Prince Lucien Oonapv"; Professor Schlegel, of Lcyden, iua paper latelv subniit1^- by him to the ltoyal Academy of Sciences cf llollanJ I J 11 I substance01 which lie )i's ol)liqiuglj, coiuwlini atcu' through EaronBentiuok, tha Netherlands Minis-er Court), has confirmed the identity of the Ceylon < lophait* with that found in the Lam pongs of Sumatra.
