As readers may have read in the newspapers, on 31 January [1934} there was killed a good male badak (Rhinoceros sondaicus) on the southern coast of the regency of Tasikmalaja for the Zoological Museum. A few remarks will be beneficial. In the first place I want to clarify why this animal was killed, as it belongs to a rare and threatened species. In the inpenetrable forests on the southcoast of the district Karangnoenggal there were 2 badaks until 1918. In that year, one of them was poached illegally.
