From the rhinoceros which occurs in Takah, Homran, Qalabat and on the Anseba I only obtained young specimens, which are similar to the one described by Blanford, and I often saw apparently adult animals, in which the front horn was only 6 inches longer than the second one. The anterior horn has an almost round circumference, is bent upwards and backwards, on the front side provided with an edge and strongly pointed. The posterior horn is more oval in circumference, sideways compressed, towards the tip two-sided and not bent.
