I. The Somali Rhinoceros. 



The presentation to the British Museum by Mr. Drake- 

 Brockman of two skulls of the Somali Rhinoceros, afibrds an 

 opportunity of considering whether that animal is entitled to 

 rank as a distinct local race of the so-called black species. 

 Sportsmen, I am told, almost invariably regard it in that light ; 





* The complete account of the two new forms described in this paper appears 

 here, but as the names and preliminary diagnoses were published in the 'Abstract,' 

 the species are distinguished by the names being underlined. — Edixok.
