Now, however, this animal has retreated almost, if not entirely, to the eastward of the Tista valley, on the borders of Kuch-Behar; its main strongholds being the great grass-jungles of that province and of Assam. Kuch-Behar is now one of the centres for rhinoceros-shooting. Fine examples have been obtained by the Maharaja himself; and it was in this territory that the Duke of Portland obtained specimens in 1882. To shoot females is prohibited.
