Sunday 27 Dec 1801, Kossy. Two farmers who had remained in the fields all night from the Giraffe hunt arrived - they had shot a Rhinoceros in our neighbourhood - large of the kind - the black two horned Rhinoceros -this specimen an old male is beyond comparison the most awkward and ugly of quadrupeds - he bears a closer resemblance to the Hippopotamus than to any opther animal but he is still more clumsy in all his shapes.
