fire-eating rhino. The Southern Karens say there is a third species of rhino in the jungles which is distinguished from both the others by its skin being covered with small tubercles, and above all by its eating fire. Wherever it sees fire, it runs up and devours it immediately. Distinguishes Rhinoceros sondaicus and Rhinoceros lasiotis and R. sumatrensis.

The skulls of a male and female Rhinoceros lasiotis were procured by myself on the coast near Koranji Island in 1866, and are now in the British Museum. Rhinoceros sumatrensis is the ordinary two-horned rhinoceros of Tenasserim and the Malay countries, and would seem to be replaced in Arakan by R. lasiotis, which perhaps also spreads into Assam and Tenasserim.
