Note 460 — Chapter IV · THE INDUSTRIAL ARTS. (continued 2)
Walter Armstrong translation
The juxtaposition on the black obelisk of Shalmaneser II. of the rhinoceros, the small-eared or Indian elephant, and the Bactrian camel seems to point to this route. The monkeys in the same reliefs appear to belong to an Indian species (Houghton, Mammalia of the Assyrian Sculptures, pp. 319, 320).
