or serrated, exhibiting numerous acute points ; and a lateral 

 view of them may aptly be compared to a saw, the teeth of 

 which are jagged or uneven. The name is accordingly com- 

 pounded of two Greek words [TrgiMv and ohvg), explaining the 

 character of the teeth." 



The remaining Quadrupeds described in this work are as 

 follows :

The description at large of S. Plantani is followed by a ge- 

 neral enumeration of Indian Sciuri,, comprising the following 

 species: — nigrovittatus (new), albovittatus, bivittatus, insig7iis, 

 Palmaruni, Finlaysonii, affinis, temiis (new), crythrceus, Les- 

 chenauUii, Prevostii, hypoleucos (new), inacrourus, and 7naximus. 



We must now make an abrupt transition to the Pachyder- 

 matu, of which we find Rhinoceros Sondaicus described. This 

 species was originally separated from the 11. unicornis v. in- 

 dicus by Cuvier. Dr. Hoisfield contributes to its illustration 

 some remarks, made in 1817, on a living specimen kept in a 

 state of partial domestication at Surakarta, the capital of the 

 dominions of the Emperor of Java, with a good figure of it, 

 Irom a diawing by an able artist educated in the country. He 

 characterizes the animal as follows: — Rhinoceros cornu unico, 

 rugis colli obsoletis, scutulis epidermidis margine angulatis 

 medio concavis setis paucis brevibus obsitis, auribus margine 

 caiidaque subtus pilosis. — Jf'arak oi' the Javanese : Bada/c of 

 the Malays, and of the inhabitants of the western parts of 

 Java. — We extract some interesting particulars of the habits 

 of this animal.
