It is very difficult to determine to which species of Bhinoceros the 

 horns in the Museum Collection belong, for two reasons. If 

 purchased from dealers or from old collections no reliance can 

 be placed upon the habitat assigned to them. Secondly, the 

 horns of the same species seem to vary greatly in shape, and 

 those from animals in confinement, and probably, therefore, 

 also those that are wild, are considerably modified by external 

 circumstances in shape and direction. For example, see 

 account of animal with monstrous horn {Sclater, P. Z. S.) ; and 

 therefore the separate horns in the collection are referred to the 

 species with great doubt, unless they have been received from 

 travellers who have obtained them themselves, and vouch for 

 the accuracy of the habitat.
