In these respects these two Zululand skulls are of the general type of the two acquired by Mr Ward, and thus suggest that the latter may have come from the same district. It may also be pointed out that the white rhinoceros, with a practically aborted back horn, figured in my Game Animals of Africa, came either from Cape Colony or Zululand ; and, this being so, there seems a possibility that the white rhinoceros of these districts was characterised by the back horn being shorter and the front horn stouter than in the Mashonaland representative of the species.
