Mr Abdul Rani of Ipoh has succeeded in trapping a pair of rhinoceros at Trolok in Perlis, and he intends exhibiting them at the forthcoming Malaya-Borneo Exhibition at Singapore. The captured pair are reported to be splendid specimens. The animals were caught on February 23 and Mr Abdul Rani has gone down to see that they are properly caged. The animals were trapped in the usual manner, in covered pits, but according tto popular Malay chief the 'spirits' also had much to do with the animals walking into these traps. Mr Rani has sent a 'powang' from Kuala Kangsar and altogether about 15 men have been at work.
