146 SOME POINTS IN THE VISCERAL ANATOMY OF THE 
Page 24, ON THE DEATH OF A RHINOCEROS IN THE. 
SOCIETY’S GARDENS, AND ON SOME POINTS. 
IN ITS ANATOMY.* 
“ Mr. A. H. Garrod, in drawing attention to the death on Decem- 
ber 14th of the female Rhinoceros unicornis, which had lived in the 
Society’s Gardens for more than twenty-three years, remarked that the 
only pathological sign detected was the enlargement of the lymphatic 
glands at the base of the heart. Mr. Garrod’s observations on the 
visceral anatomy of this Rhinoceros were quite confirmatory of those 
of Professor Owen. In addition, he mentioned that there was a 
minute os cordis at the attached margin of one of the aortic valves, 
and that in the Perissodactyla this bone is not always absent, as by: 
some supposed, he having found a large one in a Sumatran Tapir. 
The remarkable difference between the arrangement of the mucous 
membrane of the small intestine in the Indian and Sumatran Rhino- 
cerotes (that of the former being produced into villi nearly an’ inch 
long through its whole length, whilst'in the latter’ these were repre- 
sented by valvule conniventes) was also illustrated from specimens in: 
spirit.”

Our present knowledge of the visceral anatomy of the Rhinocerotide 
is confined to that of the two species Rhinoceros wnicornis and Cerato- 
rhinus sumatrensis. Professor Owen has given us, in the “ Transac- 
tions” of this Society (vol. iv. pp. 31 et seq.) an exhaustive account of 
the former of these animals; and-in the “ Proceedings” (1873, pp. 92 
et seq.)~ it has been my endeavour to indicate most of the im- 
portant features in the latter, which, as Professor Flower has kindly 
pointed out to me, were briefly described by Sir E. Home in the 
* “ Proceedings of the Zoological Society,” 1874, p. 2. Read, Jan. 6, 1874.
