| Ceratotherium simum cottoni. The skin is well adapted for temperature regulation, having an epidermis about 1 mm thick, with a well-developed subjacent vascular bed. The dermis, about 2 cm or more thick, is dense, collagenous and relatively avascular, pierced at intervals by vessels to the epid... |

| Ceratotherium simum. Most unexpected, however, was the finding of large apocrine sweat glands, characterized by an abundance of relatively large, ectodermally developed myoepithelial cells, an anatomical arrangement clearly subserving the rapid and copious discharge of sweat.

| On geographic grounds one would expect the Sumatran species to be more nearly related to the other Asiatic than to the African types. And this is the case. The better-known distinguishing points between the two categories of Asiatic species are supplied by the number of horns, the development of... |
