Some time back I published a brief notice of a peculiar infirmity of the female Indian rhinoceros at the Zoo (Zool. S. S. 2341), namely, that her horn was loose and toppled forward, so as to come into contact with her nose: this irritated the part against which it rested, eventually causing a sore, which seemed to render the beast wretched and ill-tempered. A consultation among the authorities took place, and it was decided that amputation of the horn was the only remedy: and Mr Bartlett undertook and has accomplished the difficult task.
