and shot, at two p.m., a bull which had that nionnnf;f lieeii feeding 

 with the herd among the pines, at an elevation of 2500 feet. From 

 the appearance of the numerous paths running along the faces of 

 the steep hillsides, that high elevation ai)peared to be a hot weather 

 resort for the herd. In the Mo Klong they were as a rule found at a 

 niuidi lower elevation, in mixed and deciduous jungle, and in tlie 

 lilo Wang I understand tliej' (and occasionally (iaur) are usually 

 found in dry jungle subject to annual forest fires 



The lower photograph shows three good heads obtained by Mr. 

 Elwes in tiie Me Wang district, tlie central iiead being the best so 

 far recorded from Siam, and would stand a good third in Howland 

 Ward's list for the species, a good third, advisedly, as eiglit years 

 elapsed before the writer's measurements were taken, and the bases 

 have undoubtedly contracted considerablj'.

Supplementing the note by Mr. Kloss in Vol. II. p. 79 of this 

 Journal, the following note on one of this species obtained in the rapids 

 below Chiengmai ( N. >Siam ) may be of interest. The specimen, a 

 male, was found in the eaily morning crouching on a small roclc at the 

 base of an oveihangiiig clifl", and could only have reached the rock bj' 

 swimming souie distance in deep water. The boatmen held the beast 

 under water with boat-poles and drowned it, and I am uncertain of the 

 colour of the eyes — the liquid green of the enlarged pupils occupying the 

 whole eje. The measurements were : — length 26.4 inches ; tail 1.").3; 

 height at shoulder 16; ear (from skull) 2.25. The skin and skull 

 were sent to Mr. Boden Kloss who has sent the skull measurements 

 as follows: — greatest length 126 mm; basal length 106: condylo-
