448 PROF. FLOWER ON RHINOCEROS BIcoRNIS. [Nov. 19, 
(Gaveus gaurus). The other is the ‘Sapio’ of the Malays. It is 
black ; but has the belly, the inner sides of both fore and hind legs, 
and stockings chestnut ; the grey patch on the forehead is rusty, and 
the insides of the ears are strongly tinged with chestnut. I have 
seen an oid bull, standing over |8 hands, with massive horns, coloured 
thus; and the other day Dr. E. A. Travers shot, in Jelebu, a young 
bull almost exactly the size of the Sladang now sent, and it was 
coloured exactly like the large bull. The quite young of this form 
are said to be entirely chestnut, and the cows to have the chestnut 
of the stockings, belly, and inner sides of the legs darker and richer 
coloured than in the bulls. There is, I think, no doubt upon the 
subject ; the Malays, who are not likely to make a mistake in such 
a matter, recognize two species.” 
Prof. Flower exhibited the skin of the face of a male African 
Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros bicornis), shot by Sir John C. Willoughby, 
Bart., on the eastern side of the base of Kilimanjaro mountain. In 
addition to the two normal horns, it presented a third, of irregular 
form, placed in the median line on the lower part of the forehead. 
Prof. Flower made the following remarks on this specimen :— 
‘«« The anterior horn is 133 inches long, measured along its curved 
anterior surface, or 12 inches measured in a straight line from the 
side of the base to the apex, and is 20 inches in circumference at 
the base. The apex is considerably worn and polished. The base 
of the second horn is, as usual, in contact with the first, and it is 
2 inches shorter, measuring 10 inches along the side from base to apex. 
It is more upright and compressed than the anterior horn. There is 
an interval of 4 inches between the hinder edge of the base of this 
and the front of the third horn. This supplementary horn is 53 inches 
in height and 174 in circumference at the base, which has an 
irregular, unsymmetrical, somewhat triangular form. It is composed 
of the same fibrous structure as the normal horns, but of a coarser 
character, and showing a tendency to split up into columnar masses,
