Wildreservaten in Zuid-Sumatra en in de Minahasa

I hear that rhinos have been spotted in that part of the Niroe Reserve which lies in the Lematang Ilir subdivision. A few rhino were found in the southern part of that reserve.

In the subdivision Ogan oeloe the rhino occurs. In the division Batoeradja, Palembang, the last rhino was shot early 1927 and since that time I have heard no rumours of the existence of rhino in Ogan Oeloe. That rhino was shot by ex-Lieutenant Hazewinkel. Since the rhino is valuable, it is sure that the local people would hunt it. That such does not happen is only due to the fact that rhinos have disappeared all but completely from this subdivision.

1928, Sumatra, one horn f 1200-1600
