In February [1876] a two-horned rhinoceros (Rh. sumatranus) was killed at a place within 20 miles of the station pf Comillah. He made his way down from Hill Tipperah into a highly cultivated and thickly populated country, fully 16 miles from the jungle.
[Head obtained by Manson in poor state]. The front horn was 8 1/2 inches high; the second horn is merely a stud between the eyes.
