Reizen in het bergland van Midden-Sumatra, II Over de dwarsketen van den Barisan, uitgaande van de Koerintji-Vallei

Note
Location Sumatra Subject Distribution Species Sumatran Rhino (sumatrensis)

When I stayed at the peak of Koerintji, there would have been there a white rhinoceros, whose horn is much valued by the locals as a ?obat' or rather ?djimat', but fortunately I never met him. All paths in the forest are in fact previous hunting trails for kidjang and rhinoceros.
