TWO-HORNED SUMATRAN RHINOCEROS. 181 
proportion of short and strong hairs. The folds 
in the skin, with the exception of those on the 
neck, are shallow, and there is only one large one 
behind the fore legs, and another before the hind 
quarter. The height of this animal is only given 
at about three feet ten inches. 
We have used the figure of F. Cuvier, and 
regret that there seems to be little known of the 
habits of this animal, farther than inhabiting the 
island of Sumatra. 
These three species seem to be ascertained as 
clearly distinct in the Asiatic continent. De 
Blainville gave to another, which he characterized 
from the skull, the title of R. Camperii ; but 
the species remains in uncertainty, and can scarcely 
be now admitted, without farther examination. 
From the examination of the skull, G. Cuvier 
thought that it might be a young species of R. 
Sondaicus. 
The species of Africa, which are authenticated 
with any certainty, are only two, R. Africanus , 
and i R. simus, Burchell.
