180 TWO-HORNED SUMATRAN RHINOCEROS. 
lined and edged with short black hair. The horns 
were black, the larger was placed immediately 
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, standing in a 
line with the upper horn immediately above it. 
The neck was thick and short ; the skin, on the 
under side, thrown into folds, and these again 
wrinkled. The body was bulky and round ; and 
from the shoulder ran a line or fold, though but 
faintly marked : there were several other folds and 
wrinkles on the body and legs, and the whole 
gave rather the appearance of softness. 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, and under the belly scarcely 
one-fourth.* 
In 1825, F. Cuvier gave another figure of this 
Rhinoceros in his Mammifferes, which nearly 
agrees with what we have detailed above, 
the colour is a dull brown, the skin is nearly 
quite smooth, and without any of the tuberculated 
structure, which is so peculiarly seen in R. 
Sondaicus, and it is furnished with a greater 
W. Bell’s Philosophical Transactions, for 1793.
