In the Tenasserim District the animal was searched for by Vernay and party in 1928, over a period of three months; permission having been given by Sir Harcourt Butler, then Governor of Burma, to shoot two specimens. Tracks of sumatrensis were found, but none of sondaicus, and it was concluded that the latter was extinct in Southern Burma.
