Original text on this topic:
During this summer I have had the opportunity of eviscerating a half-grown female of Rhinoceros sondaicus, from the Sunderbunds, which had been a little more than six months in this country. In the commencement of the colon I found three tapeworms with their heads (scoleces), together with several detached groups of proglottides, these latter being quite undistinguishable from those figured by Dr. Murie, in form as well as size.
