The proportions of the head cause the eyes to look small. The weight of the head itself is, however, much dimi- nished by the hollow cavities in front, which make it almost a vain attempt to try to kill an elephant by shooting him in the forehead, for the balls lodge in these cells. They so protect the brain, which is the seat of feeling, that fearful buttings are practised with impunity by these animals. The teeth of elephants are remarkable ; for they con- sist of only one large grinder on ea...ch side and in each jaw, which looks like a bundle of smaller teeth fastened together by intervening and surrounding plates of enamel. These grinders change frequently during the life of the animal, perhaps even six or eight times, as long as the jaw grows ; and the new arrivals do not come from below, but are formed behind the old one and push it out. There are no other teeth, properly so called ; but in the upper jaw are two tusks which supply the ivory of commerce, and which are changed once during the life of the animal.
