[Questioning if a musket=ball would penetrate the hide of a rhinoceros] I remember having the opportunity of making the experiment on the carcase of an old animal of uncommon size, which had been killed near Givalpara on the border of the wild country of Asam, a spot where rhinoceroses abound. [The bullet did not penetrate the skin]
