S04 Mr. Lambert's Further Account of the Bos Frontalis. 
the jungles, they prepare a number of balls, of the size of a man's 
head, composed of a particular kind of earth, salt, and cotton ; 
they then drive their tame gyalls towards the wild ones, when the 
two soon meet and assimilate into one herd, the males of the one 
attaching themselves to the females of the other, and vice versa. 
The Kookies now scatter their balls over such parts of the jungle 
as they think the herd most likely to pass, and watch its motions. 
The gyalls, on meeting these balls as they go along, are attracted 
by their appearance and smell, and begin to lick them with their 
tongues; and relishing the taste of the salt, and the particular 
earth composing them, they never quit the place until all the 
balls are destroyed. The Kookies having observed the gyalls to 
have once tasted their balls, prepare what they consider a sufficient 
supply of them to answer the intended purpose, and as the gyalls 
lick them up they throw down more; and to prevent their being 
so readily destroyed they mix the cotton with the earth and salt. 
This process generally goes on for three changes of the moon, or 
for a month and a half; during winch time the tame and wild 
gyalls arc always together licking the decoy balls; and the Rookie, 
after the first day or two of their being so, makes his appearance 
at such a distance as not to alarm the wild ones. By degrees 
he approaches nearer and nearer, until at length the sight of him 
has become so familiar that he can advance to stroke his tame 
gyalls on the back and neck without frightening away the wild 
ones. He next extends his hand to them, and caresses them also, 
at the same time giving them plenty of his decoy balls to lick ; and 
thus in the short space of time mentioned he is able to drive them 
along with his tame ones to his parrah, or village, without the 
least exertion of force or coercion: and so attached do the gyalls 
become to the parrah, that when the Kookies migrate from one 
place
