H. The Kuala Serukai Rhinoceros. In April 1924, a cow R.sondaicus was killed at Kuala Serukoi near Telok Anson in Perak. It made an attack on a Chinese coolie who was tapping jelutong in the forest. He was charged three times, tossed, and chased into the coolie lines. She was supposed to have killed a man earlier. Being, supposedly, a menace to the district, she was shot by a planter. As he was an unlicensed hunter and the matter had not been reported to the authorities, on news of the incident being received, the head skin and skull were confiscated and are now in the Selangor Museum. Soon after this Mr. E. Seimund in his capacity as Game Warden, visited the scene of the kill. I believe he found tracks of another adult and a calf, which if true, proves that sondaicus may have been breeding in the Malay Peninsula within no distant period.
