Description des collections de Victor Jacquemont: Mammiferes et oiseaux

Observations by Jacquemont. A very interesting fact that has been mentioned is the use that is made of the rhinoceros in its haunts on the other side of the Ganges, as we are assured, for works in agriculture.

Victor Jacquemont did not see the rhinoceros in nature, but observed it in the menagerie of the Governor General of India. The animal was kept chained on one foot to a tree on the edge of a meadow. It came from the mountains on the other side of the Ganges.
