Besides Rhinoceros sondaicus, I have also shot several specimens of the two other species which exist in Burma, namely Ceratorhinus crossii and Rhinoceros sumatrensis. Both are two-horned. In the former type the hide is comparatively thin, of a pale clay colour, covered with longish brown hairs. The skin is not tesselated nor tuberculated, nor does it form a coat of mail.
