mu a unappendiculatus, nobis, antea, p. 112 ; the bird probably 
about half-grown. It entirely resembles C. galeatus of the same 
age in general structure ; but the colouring of plumage is that of the 
small young of C. galeatus, or with considerably less admixture of 
black than is seen in an ordinary Cassowary of the same size . 
the only marked distinction consisting in the very different 
arrangement and predominating yellow of the bright colours of 
the neck, and in the single small yellow caruncle in front of the 
neck, in place of the two larger and bright red caruncles of the 
common species. Again, the nude skin of the lower part of the neck 
is smooth or comparatively tense, and not tumous and wrinkled as 
in the other. I remark, also, in the stuffed specimen, along the 
medial third of the back, a nude line about -f in. broad, parting the 
feathers which flow on either side. Unfortunately, the body was 
thrown away, the sex even not ascertained ; but the sexes in this 
genus hardly differ in appearance : nor is the bird so skilfully set up 
as could be wished. The habitat of this species of Cassowary remains 
to be ascertained. ( Vide note to p. 92, antea).*

* Here it may be remarked, that, during a recent visit to British Burma, I 
found— what certainly is not generally known— that the Ceevus (Panolia) 
Eldi, Guthrie, (frontalis, McClelland,— lyratus, Scliinz,— dimorphe, Hodgson,) 
is common in the valley ot the Irawadi ; its venison being often brought to the 
Rangoon provision-bazar, together with that of the Samur, Hog Deer, and 
Muntjac or Barking Deer. On one occasion, I saw portions of the carcasses 
of all four species together, frightfully hacked as usual, without even a preli- 
minary skinning. These are the only Deer of Burmfi, until southward, in the 
provinces of Tavoy and Mergui, we come more emphatically on the Malayan 
Fauna and Flora, when the little Olievrotain, Tragulhs kanciiil, occurs, too-e- 
ther with the Malayan Tapir, and in Mergui the Galkopitiiecus, Argus ot- 
GAttTEUS, Euplocomus Vieilloti, Rollulus cristatus, Caloperdix OCEL- 
latus, and other Malayan peninsula and Sumatran species. At Moulmein I 
saw, with Major Tickell, a young buck of C. Eldi alive, in its rufous summer coat, 
exceedingly resembling the Indian Bara Singha (C. Duvattcelii) in corre- 
sponding vesture, except that it is rather smaller, with differently shaped horns. 
I am now satisfied that the C. dimorphe, Hodgson (J. A. S. XII, 897), is no other 
than C. Eldi, with horns imperfectly developed in a state of captivity, however the 
individual may have been conveyed to Nepal from doubtless the left side of the 
Brahmaputra j for I believe that it is no more an inhabitant of the sub-Hiinalayau 
sal-forest than is the Shou ofEastern Tibet, or C. aminis, Hodgson. The range of C. 
Eldi extends into the Malayan peninsula ; and this species represents, on the 
eastern side of the Bay of Bengal, the C. Dcvaucelei of India, with similar 
habits, being more gregarious, and affecting more open country, than the other 
Deer of these regions. 
The most important fact in zoology which I have ascertained, during this 
trip, is the identification of the two-horned Rhinoceros of the Tenasserim pro- 
vinces with 11 h. Crossii, Gray, P. Z. S. 1854, p, 250. At the same time,
