to Rh. sumatrensis : of the habitat there was not a shadow 

 of uncertainty as in the case of the other supposed Bor- 

 nean skulls in the same collection , which are Rh. sondaicus. 



The same author ') gave in 1880 an additional incon- 

 troversible proof of the existence of Rh. sumatrensis in 

 Borneo ; a skull and the skin of the face , with both 

 horns, of an aged individual, collected by Mr. Pryer, 

 Elopura, Bay of Sandakan , North-Eastern-Borueo , belonged 

 after Prof. Flower's examination to Rh. sumatrensis. 



Mr. Sterndale ^) told in 1884 that, according to a M.S. 

 of Mr. J. Cockburn , Rh. sondaicus inhabits Sumatra, Java 

 and Borneo. 



In Mr. W. L. Sclater's Catalogue ='), 1891, I see, that 

 according to hira Rh. sondaicus lives io Sumatra, Java 

 and Borneo, and Rh. sumatrensis too in Sumatra, Java 

 and Borneo. 



According to Prof. Flower and Ly dekker *), 1891, Rh.

 meanwhile Rh. sumatrensis is to be found in Sumatra and 

 Borneo.
