6 Mr. Bell's Description of the double horned Rhinoceros , &c. 
The whole skin of the animal is rough, and covered very 
thinly with short black hair. The skin was not more than 
one third of an inch in thickness, at the strongest part ; under 
the belly it was hardly a quarter of an inch ; any part of it 
might be cut through with ease, by a common dissecting knife. 
The animal had not that appearance of armour which is ob- 
served in the single horned rhinoceros. 
Since I dissected the male, I have had an opportunity of 
examining a female, which was more of a lead colour ; it was 
younger than the male, and had not so many folds or wrinkles 
in its skin, of course it had still less the appearance of armour. 
The only external mark which distinguishes it from the" 
male is the vagina, which is close to the anus ; whereas, in 
the male, the opening for the penis is eighteen inches below 
the anus.
