Soon after the drawing was taken the animal died, to all ap- 

 pearance owing to the change of climate. A dissection of it Mas 

 made by Mr. Brookes, surgeon, in Blenheim-street ; who ha* 

 been so kind as to favour me with the following measurements : 



From the tip of the nose to the end of the tail, 9 feet 2 inches. 

 From the tip of the hoof of the fore foot to the top of the rising

 The girth of the largest part of the abdomen, 5 feet 7 inches. 

 From the tip of the hoof of the hind leg to the highest part of

 The girth of the horn at its largest part, 1 foot 1 inch.
