91 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [No. 1, 



shewn, appeared to be peculiar to the tarai region at the foot of the 

 Himalayas, and valley of the Brahmaputra river ; the single-horned 

 Ehinoceros of the Eajmahal hills, of the Bengal Sundarhans, of the 

 Indo-Chinese region and Malayan peninsula,, being identical with 

 Rh. sondaicus of Java and Borneo. The Asiatic two-horned species, 

 Rh. Sumatranus, according to Mr. Blyth, was even more numerous 

 in the Burmese countries than Mh. sondaicus; the rangre of this 

 species extending northward at least to the latitude of Bamri island, 

 upon the Ya-ma-doung range which separates the province of Arakan 

 from that of Pegu (or the valley of the Irawadi). The Society's 

 museum, as yet, contains not a single specimen of Rh. indicus ; 

 although abundantly supplied with skulls and other specimens of 

 Rh. sondaicus and Rh. Sumatranus.
