Drawings of rh. died in Paris. Cuvier showed me the beautiful drawings by Vicq d'Azyr depicting several parts of the rhinoceros, and also the penis. Remarkable was the drawing of the inner surface of the intestines, which appeared to be covered by appendices of 2-3 lines long and relatively thick, and I did not know what these could be.
Also remarkable was the drawing of the eye of the rhinoceros, on which in error they had added four muscles of the Choroidea. I saw with Cuvier an eye of the rhinoceros, where nothing like this existed. Possibly they were mistaken for the ciliary nerves.
