There were posibly more than three or four species of rhinoceros in Burma, of which Rhinoceros sondaicus, the lesser one-horned variety, known locally as Kyan-hsin, is one; and Dicerorhinus (Rhinoceros) sumatrensis the two-horned variety is another. The Rhinoceros indicus, the great Indian rhinoceros, as well as R. sondaicus is known to have inhabited the northernportion of the Arakan and Tenasserim areas. The Rhinoceros indicus is however mainly confined to India and Pakistan. There is reason to believe that the ear-fringed two-horned rhinoceros (Rhinoceros crossii) was also found at one time in the hills of Arakan.
