Original text on this topic:
animal died in 1941. The identification of Owen's 'compact yellow glandular body' with the parathyroid gland is also confirmed by the writer's dissection of the thyroid region of two adult male Indian Rhinoceroses which died in the menagerie of the Zoological Society of London in 1941 and 1945 (see Fig. 3, A, B, C). The first of these was a twenty-year-old animal.
