London Zoo. The skinfolds are of a less massive character and differ very considerably in outline and situation: there is partictilarly a saddle-shaped shield on the neck of Sondaicus of which I see no homologue in Unicornis
The flattened tubercles, which in the hide of Unicornis have been compared to bolt-heads, are less, and less prominent on the body than in that species, but on the legs they are very distinct and strongly pronounced, although small; the tip of the upper lip is pointed and finger-like.
