| It is also probable, as Blyth observes, that it ranges into Assam, because, while at Bbamo in Upper Burniah, I was informed by an intelligent native that two-horned Rhinocerotes are found in the Mogonny district, which is close to the confines of Assam, and as far north as the twenty-sixth degree... |
