Note: The following note has been extracted from the 1829 publication, Journal of an Embassy from the Governor-General of India to the Court of Ava in the Year 1827, by John Crawfurd, the envoy on this mission. It was originally organized within the sixteenth chapter, but has been separated and included here under the present title as its information is self-contained within that chapter and because it has a topical interest to those currently researching the history of animals of Southeast Asia.
