The discovery of the formerly supposed exclusively insular Rhinoceros sondaicus on the Burmese mainlandm casts a doubt upon which is the Chinese species noticed by Duhalde to inhabit the province of Quang Si in latitude 25 degrees.

Whether more than one rhinoceros exists in Borneo, we have at present no data for forming an opinion.
Raffles said that Rhinoceros sondaicus did not occur in Sumatra. This may be doubted now that the R. sondaicus has proved to be common in Java and Tenasserim, and it appears probable, that while the latter only inhabits Java, it will be found to exist together with R. sumatrensis in Sumatra, as both of these are said to be found together with the Indian species in Tenasserim.
Museum Asiatic Society, Calcutta. From T.H. Maddock, four heads of rhinoceroses, from Tenasserim, two of them belonging to the common Indian species (Rh. Indicus), the two others to Rh. sumatrensis.
