BOVINE 49 



sometimes brown. White spots may be present above the 

 hoofs, on the throat, hind part of neck, back, in front of eye, 

 and on side of lower jaw ; and there may be white on inner 

 side of shanks. Hair of middle line of back reversed. 

 Frequently only two pairs of lower premolars. 



A.— Bos depressicornis depressicornis. 



As the species w^as described on the evidence of a skull, 

 it is of course impossible to know the colour of the skin in 

 the typical race. It is, however, permissible to regard the 

 ordinary black anoas as representing this race, and to take 

 those devoid of white markings as typical. Such white 

 markings certainly occur in the second race ; but whether 

 they may not also occur in some individuals of the present 

 race cannot yet be determined. 



Some of the undermentioned specimens may pertain to 

 B. d. fergusoni.
