London Zoo. The skin is without those enormous folds which are so imposing in R. unicornis: it has only one fold, and that is immediately behind the shoulder and extends round the barrel of the animal ; there are half-folds or large wrinkles between the ears, on the under side of the neck, and at the base of the fore legs: it is also without any indication of those dermal excrescences or tubercles which on the Unicorn species a good deal resemble flattened warts.
