Aylmer Bourke Lambert, Esq. F.R.S. V.P.L.S. 
Read March 2, and May 4, 1802. 
BOS FRONTALIS. 
Uos nigro-csemlescens, fascia frontali grisea, cornibus crassis 
remotis brevibus, cauda subnuda gracili apice pilosa. 
Tab. IV. 
Obs. Vellus molle. Juba nulla. Labium inferius apicc 
album, pilis hispidis setosum. Fascia frontis plumbea, 
bases cornuum includens. Cornua pallida. 
I received from Sir Joseph Banks the first information of this 
species, which lately arrived from India, having been sent by the 
Marquis Wellesley to David Scott, Esq.; and is now in the pos- 
session of Mr. Brookes in the New Road, where I saw it. It is, 
probably, a native of the mountainous parts of that country, and 
appears perfectly new. In that excellent work of General Zoo- 
logy lately published by Dr. Shaw, which contains more species, 
and better arranged, than any work extant, it is not mentioned. 
The animal appears to be between two and three years old, \< i y 
tame and inoffensive. A cow of the same species was coming 
over with it, but died on the passage. This is all we can learn at 
present relating to this animal.
