Examples

  • The British paleontologists to-day marvel at _Elephas ganesa_, and by great labor dig his bones out of the Sewalik rocks, but what one of them all has yet made a move to save _Rhinoceros indicus_ from the quick extermination that soon will be his portion unless he is accorded perpetual and real protection from the assaults of man?

    Our Vanishing Wild Life Its Extermination and Preservation William Temple Hornaday 1895

  • Two of these species, however, he has always considered as doubtful, Stegodon ganesa, probably a mere variety of one of the others, and Elephas priscus of Goldfuss, founded partly on specimens of the African elephant, assumed by mistake to be fossil, and partly on some aberrant forms of E. antiquus.
