Horn of Sumatran Rhinoceros. Shot by G. F. W. Curtis. 
The SUMATRAN RHINOCEROS (Rhinoceros [Ceratorhinus]! sumatrensis). 
The smallest of the Asiatic rhinoceroses, and the only one with two 
horns ; differing, however, from the African members of the genus by 
the presence of folds in the skin and of teeth in the front of the jaws. 
Only the fold behind the shoulders is continued across the back, and 
the brown or black skin is rough, granular, and more or less hairy. 
Height at shoulder from about 4 feet to 44 feet ; weight about 2000 lbs. 
Distribution—From Assam (where the species is very rare) to Siam, 
the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo. The Assam animal is 
a distinct local race (7X. sumatrensts lasiotis).

rhinoceroses, to be employed.
