it, ibid. p. 493, pi. 23. [This figure is much too dark, the animal being of a 
decidedly greyish colour, with the hairs brown.] — Dr. Gray considers this to 
be the true R. sumatranus j and a second example received by the Zoological 
Society from Malacca he has recognized as his R. crossii, A. & M. N. H. 
1872, X. pp. 207-209. The latter example is R. sumatrensis, Sclater, ibid. 
p. 298. — ^Mr. Blyth, in a paper “ On the species of Asiatic Two-horned Rhi- 
noceros,” ibid.^ pp. 399-405, gives it as his opinion that Sclater’s R. lasiotis 
is very probably the same as R. crossi, and that the Malacca animal is the 
veritable R. sumatrensis, but not the animal figured under that name by 
Temminck & Schlegel. Mr. Sclater gives woodcuts of the heads of the two 
species, P. Z. S. 1872, pp. 792 & 793, and figures what he considers to be R.
