Now only found as an occasional straggler, the rhinoceros was formerly not uncommon in suitable locations in the hills. I saw a skull in 1913 in the house of a Kuki chief, which he had shot in the valley of the Khuga River. In the past 20 yaers, 2 or 3 have been killed by kukis in the lower valley of the Barak, near Tipaimukh, on the Lushai Hills border. There were probably stragglers from the North Lushai Hills. I have never had an opportunity of ascertaining with certainty to what species they belong, but they are probably sondaicus.
