until recently even its presence in Sumatra was questioned. Positive evidence is now forthcoming, however, that it still occurs in Sumatra, for De Beaufort (1928) gives an account of a complete skeleton, presented to the Zoological Museum of Amsterdam, that was procured by a Mr. Keith, 250 kilometers South-West of Palembang, on that island. The same writer, in summarizing 'various notes on the range of the species, mentions that according to Vageler (in ?Die Umschau,' vol. 31, p. 289, 1927) a big-game hunter, G.C. Hazewinkel, killed in Sumatra no less than eight, which were supposed to represent a new variety, but in fact appear absolutely identical with Javan specimens.
