PEEPACE. 
Species oe Asiatic Ehinoceuotid^. — I append a few notes on the list of 
species of Rhinoceros given on page 52. Professor Brandt, in his memoir quoted 
above, admits Rhinoceros inermis of Lesson as a distinct species, which should, there- 
fore, be added to the list. Professor Cope, in the above quoted memoir, suggests 
tliat this species should be referred to the genus Aphelops. Professor Brandt includes 
under Rhinoceros javanicus {sondaicus) both R. nasalis and R. flowed of Gray 
(the latter species classed as a synonym in my list). By the same writer R. sieno- 
cephalus of Gray is considered to have been founded on a young individual of R. 
indicus i(u,nicornis'). Again, under Rhinoceros {Ceratorhinus) sumatrensis,VvoiQ^^ov 
Brandt includes R. crossii, R. hlythii, and R. nig er of Gray; the two former 
so-called species were omitted from my list, as being probably synonyms. 
The following list of the recent and fossil species of Rhinocerotidcc of South- 
Eastern Asia is given to replace the one given on page 52, as embodying the more 
recent views. The synonomy of the existing species is given on the authority of 
Professor Brandt, and is taken from the memoir already cited. The name by which 
each species has been referred to in this volume is taken as the name of the species. 
The sub-generic (or generic) divisions of Rhinoceros (except Acerotherium) have 
been ignored, as they are, in many cases, inapplicable to the fossils, and the species 
have been arranged in alphabetical order; synonyms are in italics.
