It is under contemplation to fully protect this Bijni area. Any further expenditure, however, on its protection from a puely forest improvement point of view is open to serious argument on the score of expense, Ot is thought perhaps, however, that it may be undertaken in the interests of natural history, so as to form a large area protected from fire as a home for the fast decreasing but interesting animal the rhinoceros.
