| Tracks of elephants are found at 3500 feet height, but those of a small kind of tiger and rhinoceroses still at higher places. The latter have made paths, which in many places form 2 feet deep swamps between the trees. |

Javan Rhino

| The paths made by rhinos cross the forest. They push down even the heaviest trees. The noise of the falling trees tells of their arrival from a great distance. |

Javan Rhino
|
| The rhinoceros, which is found everywhere in these elevated regions, ascends with an astonishing swiftness, even to the highest top of the mountains; it is on that account that this animal is so rarely to be found, and that it was frequently pursued in vain. |

Sumatran Rhino
|
| Java, Preanger. The rhinoceros has a habit to push on to the end of the highest mountain, and its paths have often been useful to us in the dense forest. These paths even extended to the top of the Patoeha and across the difficult Goenoeng Goentoer, over the sharp lava along the crater. |
