We conclude this table, and the eighth, by exhibiting in the background the figure of a female Rhinoceros that was shewed to us in the beginning of the year 1742, being two years and a half old, as the keepers reported. We thought the rarity of the beast would render these figures of it more agreeable than any other ornament, resulting from the mere fancy. The figures are just, and of a magnitude proportionable to the human figure contained in those two tables.
