neck ; and the ureters open close together about two thirds of the 

 way back from its anterior end. These openings are separated by a 

 longitudinal fold of the mucous membrane, which extends backwards 

 as far as the veru montannm. 



The animal being young, the generative organs were in such an 

 undeveloped condition that I am unable to give a good description 

 of them. The testes were only about § inch long ; but the epi- 

 didymes were large. The vesicnlse seminaies were branched ; and 

 the seminal ducts and prostates opened by numerous slit-like aper- 

 tures on either side of the veru montanum. Extending for some 

 distance behind the latter there were several irregular rows of aper- 

 tures of mucous glands. 



The penis (fig. 4) differed considerably in form from Poelman's 

 figure. He describes three ridges (cretesj or flattened pads (bour- 

 relets aplatis) on the upper surface : these were not present ; but just

behind the glans there was a squarish forwardly directed fold. The 

 glans was conical ; and the lower lip of the urethral aperture pro- 

 jected slightly. 



The brain (Plates LVIII., LIX., figs, i-4) resembles on the whole 

 that of the Rhinoceros and Horse ; but the convolutions are simpler, 

 and the hemispheres relatively shorter, appeariug almost round when 

 viewed from the side ; seen from above, they do not show such a 

 marked difference in breadth between the anterior and posterior parts 

 as in the Rhinoceros, and in this more nearly resemble the Horse. 

 The olfactory lobes are very large and of an oval shape, and are 

 marked off by a groove from their peduncles. The peduncles of the
