Only two specimens of Rhinoceros sondaicus known from the Malay Peninsula. The first of these is the (locally) famous ?Pinjih Rhino' which was shot by Mr. (now Sir) George W. Maxwell in the Pinjih Valley of the Kinta District of Perak in 1899. This was a bull, 5 ft 5 + inches high at the shoulder, measured after death. The head was mounted by Rowland ward and is now on deposit in the Selangor Museum. The Pinjih beast had been the terror of its valley long before the British occupation (1874).
