Cave or rock-shelter at Hoshangtung, Fumin, [?Szechuan,] China. Excavation in spring 1937 of this fossiliferous site
Rhinoceros sp.
An interesting Rhinoceros is known in the Yunnan cave of Fumin by a number of isolated teeth. - see also figure 7 on p.335
The present form differs from Rhinoceros oweni Ringstr?m (Rhinoceros sinensis Matthew and Granger) in having a P2 (upper) with a strong inner cingulum and a protoloph not entirely separated from the metaloph, and in having a M1 (upper) with a simpler metaloph and a longer crochet. If the said characters are not individual, the Yunnan Rhinoceros may represent another species different from that known in Szechuan. It is curious enough that by the observed characters it seems to be rather close to Rhinoceros cf. merckii found from Choukoutien. More and better material is needed for closer study.
