Greater One-horned Rhino (unicornis)
SPORT IN LOWER BENGAL. .- A correspondent of the Indian Daily News, writing from Purneah, records a splendid hunting tour in the Coosy desert. Equally good sport was met with last year in the same jungles. Here is the bag : - " One rhinoceros, nine tigers, and a cub, two buffaloes, seventy-six deer, forty-two pigs, fourteen partridges, five floricans, ten quails, one snipe, and one hare." The rhinoceros gave a grand chase and afforded great fun. It would have been shot last year but for imprudent firing at buffaloes driving it away. It was found in the same cover.
