There was also, now quite adult, the young rhinoceros imported by Mr. Jamrach in 1874, and said to have been obtained in the Munipore district, of which Mr. Sclater had spoken as probably an example of R. sondaicus. In this conclusion he now thought he had been mistaken. The animal was much too large for R. sondaicus and did not show the peculiar shoulder-fold that characterizes that species. He believed it to be merely R. unicornis.
