Additions to the Society’s Menagerie in December 1886

Note
Location Captive Subject Captivity Species Greater One-horned Rhino (unicornis)

Received in Dec 1886: a young male R.unicornis, presented by HH The Maharajah of Cooch Behar, through the intervention of Dr. B. Simpson, and received Dec 25. This is an important acquisition, as the only other specimen we possess is the male presented by the late Arthur Grote, which has lately shown serious symptoms of old age.
