Original text on this topic:
coll. Mus Calcutta. The large stuffed female 'a' in the list below shows no trace of a horn, whether this is a constant characteristic of the female of this species or not, it is impossible to state without further evidence; several people, however, who have seen this species alive, confirm this; Blyth asserted that there was no sexual differences in R. unicornis and R. sondaicus; if therefore the female of R. sondaicus has no horn this is not correct.
