On March 20, 1879, the Society received on approval a fully adult male of this animal, being, I believe, the first individual of that sex brought alive to Europe. Unfortunately it died on the 5th of April following, the postmortem examination showing evidence of dropsy, as well as of tubercle in the lungs and spleen. The skin and skeleton of this specimen are now in the British Museum.
It is, in conclusion, interesting to observe that the distinctness of the two genera Rhinoceros and Ceratorhinus, as shown by other characters - external, cranial, and visceral - is confirmed by these differences in the sexual organs.
