Apart from antelope hoofs, tortoise shells, and porcupine quills, when opened it was found to containga large number of métal bangles, such as are worn as bracelets and anklets by the native women, beads, and a long strand of metal cord. The strand of cord solved the mystery of the disappearance of a native boy, who was known to frequent the neighbourhood of the riverbank. ju ozder to collect wood, the cord being similar to the type he used" for tying, his bundles. together, Two small pieces of elephant tusk were also found in this crocodile, but no explanation was offered as to how they came into the reptile's possession.
