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. He estimates that perhaps 30 of the one-horned rhinos have been killed in Indo-China by European hunters since 1900.
