[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 
Rhinoceros of the Rajmahal Hills, of the Bengal Sundarbans, 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 Rh. sondaicus; the range of this 
species extending northward at least to the latitude of Ramri 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 .
