Show 612 MR. F. MOORE ON BENGALESE LEPIDOPTERA. [May 23, comparatively small whilst the animal is fed upon milk ; the young Hippopotamus I dissected took a large quantity of this fluid, and hence probably the small size of the first gastric cavity. Judging from the form of the stomachs and the character of the villi, one would almost infer that a certain amount of rumination takes place in this animal. G.
