These photographs chronicle the Koomkie rounding-up and taming a herd of wild elephants in the Kakandota Forests of Mysore. Images include the herd of elephants crossing the Kabani River; several studies of the elephants impounded in the stockade; tying-up operations; Lord Hardinge ascending the ladder to view the elephants from the raised gallery; the elephants being watered in the river and being led to the Kraal where they will 'undergo their period of domestication which may last from a few weeks to several months according to the temper of the beast'; 'the big Tusker' trying to escape; and a group portrait showing H.H. The Maharaja of Mysore with Lord and Lady Hardinge, The Yuvaraja and the Maharaja Scindia of Gwalior.
