In size very little inferior to the White or Square-mouthed 

 Khinoceros, distinguished by the shorter head, the skull being con- 

 siderably shorter and not elongated posteriorly beyond condyles ; 

 seven cheek-teeth on each side, the first premolar remaining 

 thi'oughout life. Front horn with rounded base. Upper lip 

 pointed and hook-shaped. The prominent liump on the neck, so 

 characteristic a feature of s/mns, is absent. The typical race is 

 very like the Somali form, size rather larger, and "vvith skull 

 slightly more concave dorsally. 



Typical locality, Caj^e Colony. The range at one time extended 

 from the Cape northwards to Uganda ; at the present time the 

 Black llhinoceros is quite extinct in Cape Colony and is only found 

 in a f-ew localities soutli of the Zambesi. In East Africa this race 

 is not found in the desert regions of the Northern Guaso Nyiro or 

 east of the Tana River, where its place is taken by the Somali 

 form. It ajipeai's that the Black Khinocei'os was exterminated in 

 Cape Colony and the Orange River Colony by the year 1S5;J.
