This the Englisch translation from a German original which is found
at
"Indische Reisebriefe". This book may be of interest to all modern
travellers to Sri Lanka (Ceylon), because it contains vivid descriptions
of the flora and fauna of the island and of people and manners from the
year 1881. The editor of
this book would be glad about email from readers
who have visited the same places as Ernst Haeckel and could give modern
descriptions. Does "Whist Bungalow" (chapter 4)
still exist? Are there still elephants at "World's End"
(chapter 18)?
