Some years before the war, the late T. R. Hubback expressed the opinion that R. sondaicus was approaching extinction in Malaya, with possibly one or two isolated individuals surviving which could not propogate the species. He also held the belief that this species penetrated into the Malay Peninsula from Tenasserim, infiltrated down the West Coast, but never crossed the main range. I have never been able to see any valid reason why R. sondaicus should not have penetrated to the East Coast and have felt that a final pronouncement would be premature without exhaustive research in at least three areas from which credible reports of unusually large tracks have been received.
