Birth Victoria Docks, London. Now, believing the statement of Mr. Engelecke, this animal had been captured but little over seven months on her arrival in the docks,and Mr. Engelecke told me that her captors had witnessed the act of her copulation just before she was caught in the pitfall: we may presume, therefore, that the period of gestation does not differ much from that of the Hippopotamus.
