A.S. Vernay, the well-known collector of big-game specimens, covered a good area of country, from Central to North-West Siam a few years ago when trying, I believe, to obtain a specimen of Schomburgk's Deer, which are rumoured still to exist, though none have been shot for twenty-five years. During the time he was in the field he could get no information that sondaicus was to be found still alive in the district visited.
As will be shown later, this animal is known to exist in the forests of Laos in Indo-China, so that it is more than probable that it may still survive in Eastern Siam. The writer has not been able to locate any museum specimen of sondaicus actually killed in Siam.
