SUMATRAN RHINOCEROS. lid 
under tlie belly,, between the legs and folds of the 
skin, a dirty flesh colour. 
f ' f ' Tlie head resembled that of the single-horned 
rhinoceros. The eyes were small, of a brown 
colour; the mem brana nictitans thick and strong. 
The skin surrounding tlie eyes was wrinkled. 
The nostrils were wide. The upper lip was 
pointed, and hanging over the under. 
“ There were six molares, or grinders, on each 
side of the upper and lower jaws, becoming gra- 
dually larger backward, particularly in the upper. 
Two teeth in the front of each jaw. The tongue 
was quite smooth. The ears were small and 
pointed ; lined and edged with short black hair, 
and situated like those of the single-horned rhi- 
noceros. The horns were black ; the larger was 
placed above the nose, pointing upwards, and 
was bent a little back ; it was about nine inches 
long. The small horn was four inches long, of 
a pyramidal shape, flattened a little, and placed 
above the eyes, rather a little more forward, stand- 
ing in a line with the larger horn, immediately 
above it. They were both firmly attached to the 
skull, nor was there any appearance of joints or 
muscles to move them. The neck was thick and 
short ; the skin on the under side thrown into 
folds and these folds again wrinkled. The body w as 
bulky and round, and from the shoulder ran a line 
or fold, as in the single-honied rhinoceros, though 
it was but faintly marked. There were several 
other folds and wrinkles on the body and legs ; 
and the whole gave rather the appearance of soft-

ably strong ; the feet are armed with three 
distinct hoofs of a blackish colour, which sur-

each side. The soles of the feet were convex, 
and of a light colour, and the cuticle on them
