Original text on this topic:
Refers to Weatherbe 1939, odds that species is Dicerorhinus sumatrensis. Skulls found in Kahila in 1928 and 1931 identified by Bombay Natural History Society as Rhinoceros sondaicus. It would seem that the Kahilu area was one of (if not entirely) the last refuges of Rhinoceros sondaicus in Burma, on the evidence of the skulls. (Ansell 1947).
