NOTE 3.–The elephant stud of the Son of Heaven had dwindled till in 1862
Dr. Rennie found but one animal; now none remain. [Dr. S. W. Williams
writes (_Middle Kingdom_, I. pp. 323-324): ‘Elephants are kept at Peking
for show, and are used to draw the state chariot when the Emperor goes to
worship at the Altars of Heaven and Earth, but the sixty animals seen in
the days of Kienlung, by Bell, have since dwindled to one or two. Van
Braam met six going into Peking, sent thither from Yun-Nan.’ These were no
doubt carrying tribute from Burmah.–H. C.] It is worth noticing that the
housings of cut cloth or _appliqu_ work (’_draps entaillez_’) are still
in fashion in India for the caparison of elephants.
