Abstract

T H E Asiatic rhinoceroses are among the earth's rarest mammals and an attempt is made herein to list the ones that have been brought into captivity. Before beginning, the writer extends special thanks to Hans Jurg Kuhn of Heidelburg, Germany and S.F.C. Marvin L. Jones of the United States Army without whose co-operation this list would never have been possible. Mr Kuhn was particularly helpful in providmg information on specimens in Europe before World War 11, and Sgt. Jones contributed much information from his vast collection of zoo data. The list is divided into three major sections, representing the three clearly defined species of Asian rhinos. Subdivisions are then made by geographical area of exhibition and the zoo, circus, menagerie, or locality having the captive rhino. When a period of exhibition is stated, the later date will be the date of death, unless the contrary is stated. Credits and sources of information are given by numbered reference to a bibliography at the conclusion.
