DICEROS BICORNIS SOMALIENSIS (Potocki). Somali Black Rhino
Rhinoceros brucii Lesson, Nouv. Tabl. R?gne Animal, Mamm., p. 159, 1842. Said by Schwarz (Ergebn. Zweiten Deutsch. Zentr.-Afr.-Exped. 1910-11, 1: 870, June 1920) to be a valid name based on Blainville's 'Rhinoc?ros d'Abissinie,' from Tscherkin, between Bahr Salaam and Atbara River, northwestern Abyssinia. Hollister states that it is a nomen nudum.
Rhinoceros cucullatus Wagner, Schreber's S?ugthiere, Suppl., 6: 317, pl. 317F, 1835. No locality, but perhaps East Africa; unidentifiable. 'Perhape refers to an Asiatic species' (Hollister, N., Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., no. 99, pt. 3, p. 136, 1924).
