putrid, and he put it into the position from which the accompanying drawing 

 was made. See pi. 1, fig. 9. It was a male, the height of the shoulder was 4 

 feet 4 inches; at the sacrum nearly the same; from the tip of the nose to the 

 end of the tail, 8 feet 5 inches. From the appearance of its teeth and bones it 

 was but young, and probably not near its full size. The shape of the animal was 

 much like that of the hog. The general colour was a brownish ash ; under the 

 belly, between the legs and folds of the skin, a dirty flesh-colour. The head 

 much resembled that of the single horned rhinoceros. The eyes were small, of 

 a brown colour; the membrana nictitans thick and strong. The skin surround- 

 ing the eyes was wrinkled. The nostrils were wide. The upper lip was pointed, 

 and hanging over the under. There were 6 molares, or grinders, on each side 

 of the upper and lower jaw, becoming gradually larger backward, particularly in 

 the upper. Two teeth in the front of each jaw. The tongue was quite smooth. 

 The ears were small and pointed, lined and edged with short black hair, and 

 situated like those of the single horned rhinoceros. The horns were black, the 

 larger was placed immediately above the nose, pointing upwards, and was bent a 

 little back; it was about 9 inches long. The small horn was 4 inches long, of 

 a pyramidal shape, flattened a little, and placed above the eyes, rather a little 

 more forward, standing in a line with the larger horn, immediately above it. 

 They were both firmly attached to the skull, nor was there any appearance of 

 joint, or muscles to move them. The neck was thick and short, the skin on 

 the under side thrown into folds, and these folds again wrinkled. The body was 

 bulky and round, and from the shoulder ran a line, or fold, as in the single 

 horned rhinoceros, though it was but faintly marked. There were several other 

 folds and wrinkles on the body and legs; and the whole gave rather the appear- 

 ance of softness. The legs were thick, short, and remarkably strong; the feet 

 armed with 3 distinct hoofs, of a blackish colour, which surrounded half the 

 foot, 1 in front, the others on each side. The soles of the feet were convex, 

 of a light colour, and the cuticle on them not thicker than that on the foot of 

 a man who is used to walking. The testicles hardly appeared externally. The 

 penis was bent backward, and opened about ] 8 inches below the anus. At its 

 origin it was as thick as a man's leg, and about 2-i- feet long; the bend in it occa- 

 sions the urine to be discharged backwards. The glans is very singular: the 

 opening of the urethra is like the mouth of a cup with its brim bending over a 

 little, and is about ^ of an inch in diameter; the glans here is about ^ an inch in 

 diameter, and continues that thickness for 1^ inch; it is then inserted into an- 

 other cup like the first, but 3 times as large. The glans afterwards gradually 

 becomes thicker, and at about 9 inches from the opening of the urethra are 

 placed 1 bodies on the upper part of the glans, very like the nipples of a milch
