Mr Shebbeare has taken great pains in an attempt to estimate the approximate number of unicornis still surviving in Assam (North Bengal). They first occur about 51 miles SE of Darjeeling and there are sporadic occurrences along the foothills for about 30 miles due east as far as Silsagar. In this long strip of country he estimates that not more than 220 specimens survive today.
