September 1872. During the last fortnight another hairy rhinoceros has arrived from the East, and this, like the former, but i trust more correctly, is supposed to be Rhinoceros sumatranus.

London Zoo. The animal from Chittagong was reported as Rhinoceros sumatranus. It now appears that the name was given prematurely, that it is a species previously unknown to science, and unnamed, and it is proposed to call it 'Rhinoceros lasiotis', on account, I presume, of the fringe of long hairs on the margin of its ears.
