Some years ago when the Vernay Expedition was looking for Rhinoceros sondaicus in Lower Perak, tracks, which to the best of my recollection measured 20.5 cm, proved to be those of a very old and unusually large specimen of Rhinoceros sumatrensis. A track of 23 cm. or over, measured on firm level ground should indicate the presence of R. sondaicus. The last specimen recorded from the West Coast was a very old cow collected for the British Museum by the expedition referred to and I have seen no evidence proving the presence of other survivors in this area.
