In the Indian countries these varieties have received distinct names just as our breeds of dogs and an elephant is valued according to the breed or caste to which he belongs; for in India caste is a universal idea, even among animals. There are two principal castes the Koomareah, of princely race; and the Merghee, or hunting elephant.
These two kinds differ a good deal as much, indeed, as if they were separate species. The koomareah is deep-bodied, strong, and compact, with a very large trunk and short thick legs. As a large trunk is considered the great beauty of an elephant, the koomareah is therefore preferred to the merghee; besides, he is also superior to the latter in strength and powers of endurance.
