Bottom of his lower Lip, feems fhaped like a Bell, 
viz. fmall and narrow at Top, with a broad Bails. 
His under Lip is like that of an Ox, but the upper 
more like that of a Horfe ; ufing it, as that Creature 
does, to gather the Hay from the Rack, or Grafs from 
the Ground 5 with this Difference, that the Rhino- - 
ceros has a Power of ftretching it out above Six 
Inches, to a Point, and doubling it round a Stick, or 
one’s Finger, holding it fall ; fo that, as to that 
Action, it is not unlike the Rrobojcis of an Ele- 
phant. 
As to the Tongue of the Rhinoceros , although 
it is confidently reported by Authors, that it is fo 
rough as to be capable of rubbing a Man’s Flefh 
from his Bones ; yet that of our prcfcnt Animal is 
foft, and as fmooth as that of a Calf 5 which I have 
often felt, having had my Hand fucked feveral times 
by him. Whether it may grow more rough, as the 
Bcaft grows older, we cannot fay. 
His Eyes are dull and flecpy, much like thofe of a 
Hog in Shape, and fituated hearer the Nofe than that 
of any Quadruped I have ever feen ; which he very 
feldom opens intirely. 
His Ears are broad and thin towards the Tops, 
much like thofe of a Hog; but have each a narrow 
round Root with fome Ruga about it,- and riles, 
as it were, out of a Sinus furrounded with a Rlica. 
His Neck is very fhort, being that Part which lies 
between the back Edge of the jaw and the Rlica of 
the Shoulder; on this Part there are Two diftind 
Folds, which go quite round it, only the fore one 
is broken underneath, and has a hollow Flap hanging 
from it, fo deep that it would contain a Mans Fift
