Information from Dr Bourret. Professeur Bourret, a well-known zoologist, of the Direction de l'Instruction Publique writing from Hanoi is certain of the existence of two species of Rhino, sondaicus and sumatrensis, in the south of Indo-China ; and of sondaicus as far north as Tonkin where it has recently been killed in the province of Son La. A one-horned rhino was seen in 1934 at Son La in Tonkin, where a native chief also possesses a skull from the district.
