In addition to certain insufficiently described forms 

 referred to later, the following live races have been named, 

 although it is not at present possible to give the full distinc-

the middle B.b.banteng. 



h. Horns of bulls directed at first upwards 



and outwards, at an angle of about 45°, 



and then curving inwards to a moderate 



extent and slightly forwards ; the span 



thus being relatively small, and the 



horns themselves often smaller than in 



the preceding race ; forehead of skull 



almost flat with the intercornual ridge 



nearly straight B. h. loivi.

upper surface of buttocks ; general colour of 

 adult bulls ranging from dark fawn, orange,
