be necessary much to alter them in speaking of fig. 5 ; but fig. 6 pre- 

 sents such a close approximation to the Indian rhinoceros, that it is 

 much to be wished that the specimen had not been so broken as to 

 prevent additional measurements from being derived from it. Except- 

 ing in the length from the articulating head to the bottom of the 

 internal condyle, it does not much differ from fig. 5. The bone, how- 

 ever, being imperfect, must be omitted in drawing a comparison be- 

 tween the fossil and existing species. 



Fig. 1 , varies most from the Indian rhinoceros in the proportion of 

 the length taken to the internal condyle ; an anomaly difficult of expla- 

 nation. We must here repeat, that there exists a necessity for a greater 

 number of tables of dimensions taken from the skeletons of the Indian 

 rhinoceros : the anterior extremity of a rhinoceros, with the examina- 

 tion of which we have been favored, yielded proportions so nearly 

 corresponding with those deduced from the fossil humerus, figs. 1, 2, 

 as to prevent our drawing more positive conclusions than those ex- 

 pressed at the close of the remarks on the cranium, PL XV. 



Posterior Extremity. 



The femur and tibia, PI. XVIII, were dug up in such close proximity 

 to the humerus and radius, fig. 1, PI. XVII, that little doubt could be 

 entertained of their having belonged to the same animal. Being perfect,
