to that of the elephant, as thirty-five ounces to one hundred 
and eighty-two. The length of the skull of the recent rhi- 
noceros brought over by Mr. Campbell, is three feet ; and 
the cavity, although mutilated, shows it not to be larger 
than the other. In Mr. Brooks's skeleton of the rhinoceros, 
five feet six inches high, the skull is only one foot eleven 
inches. His skeleton of the elephant is six feet six inches ; 
so that Mr. Campbell's rhinoceros must have been of the 
full size. 
The skull of the horse has a capacity which, when com- 
pared with that of the rhinoceros, is to the small female of 
that species, nearly equal. 
Skulls of the different species of rhinoceros known to exist, 
are preserved in the anatomical collections in this country, as 
well as in France. One species from Sumatra with two 
horns, one from Africa with two horns, and one with a single 
horn. 
Of all these different species none have been found to 
possess a common share of intellect ; the size of the cavity of 
the skull in all of them, is nearly the same ; and there is no 
account upon record, of a rhinoceros ever having been tamed, 
although curiosity alone, would have been a sufficient induce- 
ment to have made the attempt, had there been any proba- 
bility of success. 
The following account, of the manners and habits of the 
Asiatic rhinoceros, clothed in armour, and having the welted 
hide, I have taken from the young man who was its keeper 
for three years in the Menagerie at Exeter Change, at the 
end of which period it died. 
It was so savage, that about a month after it came to
