Czech, Asia, p. 107: "A longtime resident of Malaya, Hubback recounts his numerous hunting trips after elephant and seladang. Traveling from Singapore to the Pertang River and Kenawan, he collected several seladang which he regarded with respect: 'I have indeed seen a big seladang in his first rush snap a creeper as thick as a strong man's wrist - a creeper with which twenty men could easily play tug-of-war.' Near the Pahang River he successfully stalked and bagged several elephants." Item #52704
