202 BUBALUS MINDORENSIS. 



the mouth and perpendicular under the eye is to be seen 

 in the male (absent in the female) a white patch with 

 some elongated hairs; just between these patches, that is 

 to say on the chin, lies another white patch, both in male 

 and female. A rather broad whitish colored band runs from 

 the shoulders towards the dew-lap ; another much shorter 

 and smaller one on the throat: these two bands are not 

 developed in the female-specimen before me. The tail ends 

 in a well developed tuft of black hairs. 



Our specimens seem to be of somewhat the same size 

 as Mr. Steere's animals, especially as his old male: the 

 length of the horn of the male, measured along the curve, 

 is 360 Mm., distance between the tops 275 Mm., in our 

 old female 315 Mm. and 155 Mm. 



Greatest length of ear 185 Mm., greatest width of ditto 

 125 Mm.

Description of the calf, a male, apparently a couple of 

 months old: general color a fine chestnut; upperparts of 

 head black ; from between the black-haired ears runs a 

 rather broad black stripe or band along the spine to the 

 tail, which itself is black, except its underside of which 

 the basal part is chestnut colored ; the tail ends in a well 

 developed tuft of long black hairs. Fore legs black, hind 

 legs blackish brown; a slight trace of light spots above 

 the hoofs. A narrow black stripe from hind legs towards 

 the belly. The broad whitish stripe near the inner corner 

 of each eye is as well developed as in the adult speci- 

 mens ; it is the only representative of light colored parts 

 on the face : on the chin is a yellow brown colored patch 

 occupying the place of the white ditto of the old speci- 

 mens. A very diffuse trace of the lower of the two above 

 mentioned bands. No trace of horns. 



Description of the bony parts: the skull has been descri- 

 bed and figured by Dr. B. Hoffmann^): this first known
