On geographic grounds one would expect the Sumatran species to be more nearly related to the other Asiatic than to the African types. And this is the case. The better-known distinguishing points between the two categories of Asiatic species are supplied by the number of horns, the development of...

The penis of the Perissodactyla has a great thickness. As in Hyrax and Elephas, the preputial opening in Rhinoceros and Tapirus is located far backwards, and the urine is released backwards. In erection the penis always moves forward. In Rhinoceros (Owen 1868) the penis reaches an enormous siz...

I had the opportunity of examining the intestinal tract of the Indian Rhino which died at London Zoo in 1904. As in many large mammals, the length of the gut is small in proportion to the size of the animal. There is no distinct duodenal loop. Meckel's tract is relatively simple, consisting of...
