The only specimen of the now rare two-horned black rhinoceros which has come to America in the last eight years, with one exception, has been purchased by the Society and is now one of the valued possessions of the Zoological Park. Learning of the arrival in Europe, from the Kilimanjaro District, German East Africa, we cabled an offer and promptly secured the animal. The transportation was effected without trouble of any kind, the rhino reaching the park on 1 June 1906 and was safely quartered in the Antelope House, where she has been on view ever since.
