A THIRD COLLECTION OF SIAMESE MAMMALS. 317 



J theretbre use the name of llie Burmese animals which, tiiough old 

 bulls do attain a blackish coat*, seems to differ from the typical race 

 in a lesser development of tiie white rump patches. 



Notwithstaiidiiig Butler's f and Lj'dekker's^ identification of 

 the female skull of some kind of ox from I'erak as a banteng, there 

 is no real i)roof of the existence of the species in the IMalay States : 

 a ^Teat number of horns and frontlets obtained by Europeans and 

 Malays have been seen, but all are unquestionably those of gaur 

 or seladung : undoubted!}' if the banteng occurred, trophies of it 

 would h'lve bi-en noticed among them. The distribution is therefore 

 parallel with that of several other animals and some birds, i. e., the 

 epecies occurs in Indo-China and one or other of the Malay Islands 

 but skips the Peninsuia.
