ZOOLOGICAL MUSEUM, TRTNG. 65 
island of Aldabra, north of Madagascar. Enormous 
quantities have been carried away from the Galapagos 
for food, and they have long ago been exterminated in 
Mauritius and on other islands. 
The last corner is taken up by the famous 
White Rhinoceros, 
distinguished from the ordinary or Black ” African 
Rhinoceros by its square mouth. This animal for- 
merly inhabited the South African steppes in great 
numbers, but now only a small herd is said to exist in 
Mashonaland. No specimen was preserved in any 
museum in England before this one was shot for 
Mr. Rothschild by Mr. Coryndon. 
Of the specimens suspended from the roof the 
most noticeable are a complete skeleton and mounted 
example of 
Sowerby^s Whale (Mesoplodon bidens), 
obtained at Cromer ; a Florida Manatee {Manatus 
latirostris)^ of a large size, and its skeleton ; a 
Greenland Shark {Laemargus borealis) ; Bottle- 
nosed Dolphin {Tursiops tursid)^ from Folkestone; 
several Sharks, Sawfishes, Crocodiles, and others.
