[Eeceived October 1, 1877.] 



Our present knowledge of the visceral anatomy of the Rhinocero- 

 tidae IS confined to that of the two species Rhinoceros unicoZTZ 

 Ceratorhnus sumatrensis. Professor Owen has given ur n the 



?r873 nn ^? f«'-"ier of these animals; and in the ' Proceedings '

curve of the superior surface of the skull, to the tips of the^nasal 

 bones IS thirteen and a half inches, the same measurement in Tdul 

 animals being twenty- two inches. 



The single milk-incisor on each side of each jaw is still in place 

 as are all the milk-molars. The first true molar has not cut th^ 

 gum ; bu its cap is seen within the bony alveolus. No traces of the 

 other molars are visible.
