Shortridge (1915) knew of but a single one shot by a European in southern Tenasserim, some years previously at Victoria Point, but doubts not that a number are killed at water holes by natives, with whom the blood and horns are in great demand as medicine.
More recently, C. Boden Kloss (1927) writes that, though formerly fairly numerous in Tenasserim and Java, only a few dozen individuals now survive, all `strictly protected,' and that he has no evidence of the animal's presence in the Siamese portion of the Malay States.
