TWO-HORNED RHINOCEROS. 
It is not a little singular, that the acute and 
intelligent Edwards, when he figured his Rhi^ 
noceros with a single Horn, in 1752, was dis- 
posed to believe, that there then existed no actual 
species of the Rhinoceros with a double horn ; 
and that, where the two horns occurred, it 
might rather be considered as an accidental 
circumstance, or mere Lusus Naturas. On the 
contrary, Monsieur Geoffroy, in his celebrated 
Magazin Encyclopediqne, ingeniously sug- 
gests, that there have existed, if they do not even 
at present exist, no less than five different spe- 
cies of the Rhinoceros ; which he thus enume- 
rates — I. The Rhinoceros Africanus Cornu 
Gemina, or Twin-Horned African Rhino- 
jceros, of Camper; who, in the Transactions 
iof the Royal Academy at Petersburgh, for the 
year 1777, gives a figure of the skulL 2. The , 
species which was found fossil in Siberia; and 
which, as Monsieur GeofFroy ably maintains, 
iiifers from the common Two-Horned Rhi- 
|noceros, though it belongs to that division of
