Furthermore, if the pair of horns which Denham and Clapperton brought back from the southeast of Lake Tchad in 1824 (Malbrant, 1952; Bovill, 1966) are indeed those of a white rhino from Gaulfey (latitude 12' 25'N longitude l4'50' E), then the range clearly extended even further west in this region. Denham recorded the white rhino to be `by no means common here' (Bovill, 1966); but it seems likely that these horns are those of the black rhino, the base being round.
