ELEPHANTS AND ETHNOLOGISTS. With numerous woodcuts by A. H. Gerrard. Sm. 4to.
A series of remarkable woodcuts by Mr A. Horace Gerrard afford ocular demonstration of the fact that certain sculptures made in Central America between the fourth and ninth centuries A.D. were inspired by Asia. Unmistakable representations of the Indian elephant with a characteristically turbaned mahout and certain arbitrary appendages distinctive of the Asiatic home of the designers are shown. Prof. Elliot Smith discusses the interesting psychological problem of the refusal of ethnologists to admit so patent a fact.
