ii8 Oxen 



In the tiattened forehead, as well as in the position and setting-on of 

 the horn-cores, this species makes a decided approach to the anoa and its 

 extinct allies, which it thus serves to connect with the Indian butfalo. 



Distribution. — India during the Pliocene period. The known remains 

 occur in the Siwalik Hills, extending from the Simla district to the 

 Punjab, but the species probably had a wider range than these limits.
