Original text on this topic:
Info from Mr. William W. Fegan of the `Bangkok Sport and Gossip' (1933). I may state that both the one-horned and two-horned rhinoceros (R. sondaicus and R. sumatrensis) are to be found in Siam but, owing to the hunting by the hill tribes both are now extremely rare, so much so that some five years ago the killing of them was prohibited by the government.
