In 1869, near Lahaing, between the Thungyen and Menam rivers. As we were crossing a small plain towards evening, three rhinoceroses came in sight. We could not get near enough for a shot. On the River Menam, a solitary rhinoceros was seen. Very shortly afterwards, a small herd of five rhinoceroses came right across our path and received our fire. One was shot. In 1870, on River Menam, we witnessed a fight between a bull buffalo and a rhinoceros in which, however, neither seemed much hurt. A few miles from River Menam, we met with a large single-horned animal, which was shot.

Rhinoceroses often nearly ruin the villagers by breaking into the rice and maize fields.
