Rhinoceros unicornis, male Jim in London Zoo. Larynx. The epiglottis is intranarial. The outer walls of the ventricles and lateral pouches are covered by gland tissue. The two folds of mucous membrane that run upwards, outwards, and backwards from the anterior attachment of the vocal cords and form the anterior lips of the ventricles, are strongly developed. They are more marked in Sumatran Rhino but absent from tapir and horse. Above the anterior point of union of the vocal cords is a vertical indentation of the mucous membrane of the epiglottis. In this position in the horse and ass there is a definite median saccus.
