Upon arriving within fifty yards of his flank, I noticed the blood streaming from his mouth, and he presently rolled over and died.

The ball, having passed through his antagonist, had entered his shoulder, and, smashing the shoulder-blade, had passed through the body, lodging in the tough hide upon his opposite side, from which I extracted it by simply cutting the skin which covered it.
I have frequently seen the bull buffaloes fight each other with great fury.

Upon these occasions they are generally the most dangerous, all their natural ferocity being increased by the heat of the combat.

I was once in pursuit of an elephant which led me across the plain at Minneria, when I suddenly observed a large bull buffalo making towards me, as though to cut me off in the very direction in which I was advancing.

Upon his near approach I noticed numerous bloody cuts and scratches upon his neck and shoulders, which were evidently only just made by the horns of some bull with whom he had been fighting.
