Rhinoceros sivalensis Falconer and Cautley, 1847. Synonym: R. palaeindicus. Pleistocene of the Siwalik Hills of India.
Rhinoceros sivalensis, on the other hand, would seem to be rather close to Rhinoceros unicornis. The extinct form is... |

Javan Rhino
|
| Although there is a fairly extensive literature on the so-called Javan rhinoceros, Rhinoceros sondaicus, this form has been generally neglected in discussions having to do with the phylogenetic development of the Rhinocerotidae. It is true, of course, that various authors have recognized Rhinoce... |

| The validity and the direction of the spezializations in Rhinoceros, shown in two successive stages by the modern species are corroborated by a study of the fossil material, particularly the evidence offered by the extinct genus Gaindatherium from the late Tertiary phases of the Siwalik series of... |

| In the first place, it might be well to indi- cate the limits of the genus Rhinoceros. This genus has been used, particularly by palaeontologists, to include a great number of species ranging in age from the Pliocene through the Pleistocene and into Recent times. Indeed, during the early histor... |
