In recent years one of these was shot by the Sultan of Johore and , i was told, about that time, that another had been killed by an assistant on a rubber estate who got into trouble about it. The Sultan is very jealous as regards the protection of animals in his own jungles, and great credit is due to him for instituting game laws in his state, even before the development of the country had begun. No enactments were passed and no licenses were issued, shooting being permitted only on permit signed by the Sultan himself.
Rhinoceros sondaicus is very rare and I believe that only three specimens have been obtained. One was shot by the late H.C. Barnard in 1901-1902.
