p. 85 The Rhinoceros of Sumatra differs considerably from that of Java & latter form that of India

p 88 think that the Tiger of these isld differs from that of India, at least from distinct races, & that of N. Asia a third distinct race.

p 91 The Sumatra elephant a distinct species from that of India

[155v]

(2) differs in number of ribs & in teeth.

p 92 Most of the birds are different from that of Java, with few exceptions & when identical, those of Sumatra are larger & of more brilliant plumage. Thinks (p. 93) these facts show that theory of former union of these isld with mainland false.
