XX. Further Account of the Bos Frontalis (p. 57).

Bead February 7, 1804. 
f)ixc£ I presented to the Society the last account of the Bos 
Frontalis, or Gyalloi India, Mr. Fleming, a gentleman who is just 
returned from that country, has very obligingly communicated to 
me the following further particulars relative to that animal. This 
account was transmitted to Mr. Fleming by Mr. Macrae, resident 
at Chittagong, in a letter dated March 22d 1 802, and was accom- 
panied with a drawing, by which it appears that the animal from 
which my figure (Tab. IV.) was taken was full-grown. 
The Gyall is a species of cow peculiar to the mountains which 
form the eastern boundary of the province of Chittagong, where 
it is found running wild in the woods ; and it is also reared as a 
domestic animal by the Kookies, or Lunclas, the inhabitants of 
those hills. It delights to live in the deepest jungles, feeding on 
the tender leaves and shoots of the brushwood ; and is never met 
on the plains below, except when brought there. Such of them 
as have at any time been kept by the gentlemen at Chittagong 
have always preferred browsing among the thickets on the adja- 
cent hills to feeding on the grass of the plains. 
It is of a dull heavy appearance, yet of a form that indicates 
both strength and activity; and approaches nearly to that of 
the wild buffalo. Its head is set on like the buffalo's, and it 
carries it much in the same manner, with the nose projecting for- 
ward ;
