* the Elephant's deadly Enemy : The Elephant Is 
<c greatly afraid of him > for, when he meets with him, 
<c the Beaft runs at him with its Head between his 
11 fore Legs, and rips up the Elephant's Belly, and 
“ kills him ; for he cannot get rid of him : Befidcs, the 
u Bead is fo armed, that the Elephant can do nothing 
<c to him : They fay like wife, that the Rhinocerus is 
<c fwift, alert, and cunning/* 
Many Years after this, one Hendrik Hondius 
publifhed in Holland an exad Copy of Durers Print, 
counterfeiting the Date and Mark ; but gives an In- 
feription in Low Dutch , nearly the fame as that 
under the original Print. 
Bontius * fays, he has often feen thefe Animals in 
the Woods and Stables abroad, and values himfelf 
for having exhibited a Figure without the Decora- 
tions that Albert Durer put upon his ; and yet, in- 
ftead of the Hoofs which are proper to the Animal, 
he has drawn a Taw not unlike that of a Dog, only 
fomething bulky. 
The Figure given by Chardin in his Voyages has 
fomc Truth, as to the Folds or T lie re in the Skin of 
the Rhinoceros*? and likewife as to the Feet: But in 
other refpetts it is not like the Animal. There is 
alfo a little Truth in the Figures of Camerarius $ fee 
his Emblems taken from Animals ; but far from a 
thorough Reprefentation of the Creature: And, in 
fhort, the other Originals, as that taken from the 
Rhinoceros in 1685. that publifhed by Carwitham 
* Bontius calls this Animal Abadt? which probably may be the 
Javan Nam?.
