In June 1958, I received two samples of material removed from the head of a captive Indian Rhino living in the Bombay Zoo. The first sample was from the normal horn, which, as is commonly the case in captive specimens, had been rubbed down by the animal almost to the general level of the muzzle. the second was taken from an irregular horny growth which had arisen between the base of the normal horn and the forehead, approximately midway.
