Info from Mr. William W. Fegan of the `Bangkok Sport and Gossip' (1933). In more recent times I have heard of two of the animals having been seen in Eastern Siam, near the Meklong, but know nothing more about them. A Siamese official who had spent some years in this district told me that he had heard of the existence of seven or eight and he knew personally of two of them having been killed. The question of how many of the animals remain alive to-day in Siam is rather a mystery as in reality little interest is taken by the people in natural history and there is no museum here. However, nobody knows what the huge jungle stretches and the plateaux in Eastern Siam really contain in the way of large mammals as travel is difficult in many areas and not too pleasant.
