p.38 The rhinoceros also visits the low lands in the vicinity of Pergunnah Dhooleapoor occasionally, and it is said that they exist in the Boyrah Bheel, in Pergunnah Boorun; but I have never seen any of their foot-marks.
** Boorun has town of Shatkira = Satkhira, extreme south-west of Bangladesh
** Dhooleapoor is I think near Mongla, to be verified.
p.63 Barrackpoor. The Park is beautifully laid out and contains a small menagerie of wild beasts, amongst which figure a pair of large rhinoceros.
