| The original range of this rhinoceros undoubtedly covered all mainland Borneo, but by the time of the first scientific investigations of the mammal fauna, human depredations had already begun to take their toll and the species was rare in settled areas. That its natural habitat was not restricte... |

|
| In the first report of rhinoceroses from Borneo in scientific literature, M?ller (1839-40) could offer as authentication only a secondhand description of a one-horned animal, suggesting the occurrence of the Javan Rhinoceros, Rhinoceros sondaicus Desmarest. A skull of this species was among a sm... |

Sumatran Rhino
|
| By the early 1930s, rhinoceroses could still be found in most parts of Borneo, but under acute hunting pressure survived only in remote and inaccessible terrain (Banks, 1931a; Zondag, 1931; Keller, 1932; Witkamp, 1932a). Banks (1931a) concluded, rather surprisingly in the light of his own eviden... |

| In recent years the rhino has only been reported from Kutai in East Kalimantan and in Kutai Nature Reserve which was specially designated for the survival of this animal; however it is believed that rhinos have been exterminated in the Reserve. In 1976, I made a trip to check on the pre- sence o... |

| A similar situation prevailed in the settled parts of western Borneo. Here, during 1845-47 in the Sarawak district (i.e. approximately the present I Division), Low (1848) found no signs, although later in 1865-67 Beccari (1904) `once heard that the carcase of a rhinoceros had been seen in the Sa... |

| The Sumatran rhino is reported from Cam Ranh in South Vietnam, but there are no recent records for Indochinese countries where the war has certainly destroyed enormous numbers of wildlife. |
