THE JAVAN RHINOCEROS (Rhinoceros Sondaicus) 



This animal, though called by Jerdon " the lesser 

 Indian rhinoceros," is of much the same height as 

 Rhinoceros Indicus. It inhabits parts of India, 

 e.g., the Sunderbunds, Burmah, and Tipperah, and 

 according to Sterndale, who cites Pollock as his 

 authority, Assam. Of this species only the males 

 are horned. 



Sterndale mentions two other species of rhino- 

 ceros, viz., Rhinoceros Lasiotis, inhabiting Arakan 

 and Tenasserim,and Rhinoceros Sumatrensis,a. small, 

 yet very long-horned species inhabiting Tenasserim, 

 Burmah, Siam, the Malayan peninsula, and Sumatra. 

 Both of these two, unlike Rhinoceros Indicus and 

 Rhinoceros Sondaicus which each have but one 

 horn, are two-horned. 



Jerdon, excluding Rhinoceros Lasiotis alto- 

 gether, mentions Rhinoceros Snmatrensis, which he 

 calls "Rhinoceros Sumatranus" and about which, 

 as regards India, he only says that it "is suspected 

 by Blyth to extend as far north as Assam." 



The vernacular names for the Javan rhinoceros are 

 the same as for the last, with the following additions : 

 Burmese Khyen-hsen. 

 M alay an B adak.
