Mr W. Jamrach had just imported a young living specimen of the Rhinoceros of the Bengal Sunderbans, which was either Rhinoceros sondaicus or a very closely allied form. Mr Sclater had lately examined this animal, a female, measured 3 feet in height. At this time of life there certainly was no appearance of a horn on the nose.
