More recently (June, 1933) Major Vernay commissioned Major Rawley to secure, if possible, another R. sondaicus. An animal believed to be of that species was located in Selangor; but, after being shot, it proved to be a Sumatran Rhinoceros, Rhinoceros sumatrensis Cuvier. Again the only ectoparasites met with were ticks; these were very few in number, eight in all being collected.
Specimens of Amblyomma infestum examined.-One male and three females (two partly engorged), off Rhinoceros sumatrensis Cuvier, shot on the Bernam River, Selangor, Federated Malay States (Major Rawley).
