Original text on this topic:
For me, because all expenses, troubles and vexations, were at last crowned by getting this really very big male specimen of the one-horned Rhinoceros Sondaicus Desm (or javanensis Cuv), one of the biggest of its species.
Heretofore, zoologists had not been aware, that the Rhinoceros Sondaicus was also native to Sumatra, and not only to Java and the mainland of Asia. This one, the first of a series of seven shot by me, proved it beyond doubt.
