JAVAN RHINOCEROS (Rhinoceros sondaicus). 



A less gigantic and smaller-headed species than the last, with the 

 skin divided up into a kind of mosaic pattern, and the fold in front of 

 the shoulder continued right across the body like the two hinder folds. 

 The neck also lacks the large ring-like masses of folded skin. Horn 

 never very large, and generally almost or completely wanting in the 

 female. A female has been measured which stood 5^- feet at the 

 shoulder, and it is probable that the male stands not very much less 

 than the Indian species, although it is of lighter build. 

 Distribution. The Sanderbans and other parts of Eastern Bengal, to 



the Terai, Sikhim, Assam, and thence through Burma and the 



Malay Peninsula to Sumatra, Java, and Borneo.

SUMATRAN RHINOCEROS (Rhinoceros sumatrensis). 



The smallest of the Asiatic rhinos, and the only one with two horns ; 

 differing, however, from the African members of the genus by the folds 

 in the skin and the presence 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 4^- feet ; weight about 2000 Ibs. 

 Distribution. From Assam (where the species is very rare) to Siam, 



the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo. The Assam form 



is a distinct local race (R. sumatrensis lasiotis}.
