Mr W. Jamrach had just imported a young living specimen of the Rhinoceros of the Bengal Sunderbans, which was either Rhinoceros sondaicus or a very closely allied form. Mr Sclater had lately examined this animal, a female, measured 3 feet in height. At this time of life there certainly was no appearance of a horn on the nose.

Manson (1876) wrote that a two-horned rhinoceros had been killed in Feb 1876 about 20 miles south of the station of Comillah, in Tipperah. Skull seems to have been preserved. Should belong to R. lasiotis. Front horn was 8 ? inches, second merely a stud between the eyes.
