Ward (1935, p. 308) refers to macrocerus as "probably now 

 extinct."

The question as to whether truly wild Buffaloes occur in French 

 Indo-China and Siam does not seem to be definitely settled. If they 

 do exist, the question of subspecific designation also remains un- 

 settled. On the other hand, there is no doubt whatever as to the 

 occurrence in Indo-China of Buffaloes that are at least feral. 



Siam. Flower (1900, p. 370) refers to the Buffalo as "wild or 

 feral in parts of Burma, Siam, and the Malay Peninsula." He had 

 information of "Buffaloes near Pailin, in Siam, descendants of some 

 that ran wild about fifty years ago." 



According to Gyldenstolpe (1919, p. 173), "some herds of semi- 

 domesticated Water Buffaloes occur in Siam, where they have been 

 recorded from Muang Pimai in Eastern, from Pailin in South- 

 eastern, from Sam Roi Yot in South-western, and from the neigh- 

 bourhood of Raheng in Central, Siam, but really wild Water 

 Buffaloes do not occur in the country." 



In 1931 protection of the female only throughout the year was 

 recommended by the Siam Society. 



Guehler says (1936, pp. 171-172) that in 1935 "we ... met a 

 herd of wild buffalo far up on the Me Wong near the Burmese 

 frontier." 



French Indo-China. "In Cambodia I saw the tracks of buffalo 

 about E. Long. 105, and the guides with me stated that these were 

 wild animals" (Elwes, 1914, p. 111). 



The Resident Superieur of Cambodia writes (in Hit., November 

 20, 1936) that the Buffalo is observed in all forested parts of the 

 country, and specifically in nine different provinces. Hunting is 

 limited to males, in a certain number and at a certain season. There 

 is no danger of extinction. 



In Cochin China the former range included the Cochin China 

 delta, and the Provinces of Tayninh, Thudaumot, Bienhoa, and 

 Baria. The present range includes the northern part of Tayninh 

 and Thudaumot and the eastern part of Bienhoa. The present 

 numbers are about 1500. The Buffalo is of interest as a big-game
