In the subdivision Ogan oeloe the rhino occurs. In the division Batoeradja, Palembang, the last rhino was shot early 1927 and since that time I have heard no rumours of the existence of rhino in Ogan Oeloe. That rhino was shot by ex-Lieutenant Hazewinkel. Since the rhino is valuable, it is sure that the local people would hunt it. That such does not happen is only due to the fact that rhinos have disappeared all but completely from this subdivision.
