thcfe of other Quadrupeds. That of this Animal, 
being young, docs not rife from its rough Bafis above 
an Inch high, is black and fmooth at the Top, like 
thole of the Ox-kind, but rugged downwards; the 
Determination of its Growth is backwards, inftead 
of ftrait up ; which is apparent, as well in the dif- 
ferent Horns of old Rhinoceros s, which I have fecn, 
as in this of our prefent Subjed; for the Diftancc 
from the Bafis to the Apex of this, backward, is not 
within a third Part fo long as that before, and it has 
a curved Diredion ; and, confidering the Proportion 
of this Animal's Size to its Horn, we may juftly 
imagine, that the Creature which bore any one of 
thole great ones that I have feen, muft have been a 
flupendous Animal in Size and Strength; and, in- 
deed, it were no Wonder, if fuch were untradable at 
any rate. 
The Sides of his under Jaw are wide afunder, 
Banting outward to the lower Edge; and backward 
to the Neck, the Edges turn outward : Prom this 
Strudure his Head naturally looks large. 
That Part that reaches from the fore Part of the 
Horn towards the upper Lip, may be called the Nofe, 
being very bulky, and having a kind of circular 
Sweep downwards towards the Noftrils : On all this 
Part he has a great Number of Ruga running crofs 
the Front of it, and advancing on each Side towards 
his Eyes. 
The Noftrils are fituated very low, in the fame 
Dircdion with the Riffius Orff, and not above an 
Inch from it. If we look at him in a fore View, 
the whole Nofe, from the Top of the Horn to the 
Bottom
