Typical locality Malay Peninsula. 



The bantin found in the Malay Peninsula appears to be 

 very rare and local, and the possibility of its being nothing 

 more than a feral race of the domesticated Bali bantin, which 

 is largely imported into Singapore, should be borne in mind. 

 The colour is stated to be blackish in the bulls and reddish 

 chestnut in the cows, with little or no white on the rump, at 

 least in the latter ; the lower portion of the legs varying in 

 colour from dirty white to reddish or blackish. Horns of 

 cows very short, as in typical race, to which this bantin 

 appears closely related.

F.— Bos bantengr, subsp. 



Known by an adult bull shot in Cochin China by H.E.H. 

 the Due de Montpensier (see Field, vol. cxx, p. 1319, 1912). 

 It is impossible to identify this animal with any of the 

 forms named by Heude {infra, p. 30), as most of these 

 are described from the skull and horns, while when the 

 colour is mentioned it is different. 



General colour of adult bull bright orange, with a paler 

 dorsal streak ; face fawn ; a white ring above the bare part 

 of the muzzle ; a blackish band encirclino; fore-leof above 

 knee, and a similar but less defined band on front surface of
