270 MESSRS. DANFORD AND ALSTON ON [ Mar. 20, 
would doubtless belong) to be compared with skulls of R. swma- 
trensis. Mr. Manson had stated that the front horn of his specimen 
was 84 inches high, the second merely a stud between the eyes. 
Mr. Sclater remarked that this was the third! recorded occur- 
rence of a Two-horned Rhinoceros north of the Bay of Bengal. 
Mr. Sclater also called attention to the fact that Mr. W. Jamrach 
had just imported a young living specimen of the Rhinoceros of the 
Bengal Sunderbans, which was either Rhinoceros sondaicus or a 
very closely allied form?. Mr. Sclater had lately examined this 
animal, which was of the female sex, and measured about 3 feet in 
height. At this time of life there was certainly uo appearance of a 
horn on the nose. 

Mr. Sclater exhibited a small living Amphisbenian (Blanus 
cinereus) which had been accidentally brought to England in the 
roots of a hot-house plant from Port St. Mary, Spain, and had been 
presented to the Society by John Goddard, Esq., Elmer Lodge, 
Beckenham. 
The following papers were read :— 
1. On the Mammals of Asia Minor. By Cuaruizs G. Dan- 
rorD, F.Z.S., and Epwarp R. Atston, F.L.S., F.Z.S.

(Plate XX XI.) 
The general lack of information as to the fauna of Asia Minor 
seems to render an apology unnecessary for the introduction of the 
following very imperfect list of the mammals known to inhabit that 
country. 
In drawing up this catalogue, reference has been made to various 
notes which have appeared in our ‘ Proceedings’ *, which relate 
chiefly to the districts of Trebizond and Erzeroom, and also to a 
few notices of animals in various books of travels‘, especially in 
those of Mr. Ainsworth and M. Tchihatcheff. To these are added 
the animals either observed by Danford, or ascertained by him to 
occur in the country. 
1 One being that of the specimen of R. lasiotis now in the Gardens, and the 
second that recorded P, Z.S. 1875, p. 566.
