It is, indeed, a conceivable supposition that every species of Rhinoceros and every species of Hyaena, in the long succession of forms between the Miocene and the present species, was separately constructed out of dust, or out of nothing, by supernatural power; but until I receive distinct evidence of the fact, I refuse to run the risk of insulting any sane man by supposing that he seriously holds such a notion.

The elephant flies from the rhinoceros, whose lowing is like that of an ox, with something of the cry of the camel.

In 1803, a nun and a nunnery would be almost as great curiosities, in America, as a rhinoceros, though the country has since undergone some changes in this respect.

The legs and feet of the rhinoceros are cooked in the following curious method by the wild tribes of Southern Africa:The ants nests are composed of hard clay, shaped like a baker's oven, and are from two to four feet in height.
