Sumatran Rhino |
London Zoo. The animal from Chittagong was reported as Rhinoceros sumatranus. It now appears that the name was given prematurely, that it is a species previously unknown to science, and unnamed, and it is proposed to call it 'Rhinoceros lasiotis', on account, I presume, of the fringe of long hairs on the margin of its ears.
