First and foremost, to General Kiran Shumshere Jung Bahadur Rana who gave me his fullest moral support and advice as well as much information; to the Chief Forest Officer, Mr. Balarama Paul Baidya, who kindly made his departmental information available to me and allotted an officer to take me round the rhinoceros area; to Circle Officer Captain Tej Jung Thapa, an experienced sportsman and naturalist; to Major Lok Bikram, who helped me to obtain elephants in the Rapti Valley; to Mr. K. B. Malla, Chief of the Rapti Valley Multi-Purpose Project, who kindly allowed me camping facilities and transport to Dadrahani; to Mr. Boris Lissanevitch, of the Hotel Royal in Katmandu, who very kindly made available to me some camping equipment as well as much information; to Colonel and Mrs. Proud of the British Embassy, Mr. Sen of the Indian Embassy, and Mr. N.
