V. Description of Bos Frontalis, a new Species, from India. By 

 Aylmer Bourke Lambert, Esq. F.R.S. V.P.L.S. 



Read March 2, and May 4, 1802. 



BOS FRONTALIS. 



Bos nigro-ccerulescens, fascia frontali grisea, cornibus erases- 

 rcmotis brevibus, cauda subnuda gracili apice pilosa. 



Tab. IV. 

 Obs. Vellus molle. Juba nulla. Labium inferius apice 

 album, pilis hispidis sctosum. Fascia frontis plumbea, 

 bases cornuum includcns. Cornua pallida. 



I received from Sir Joseph Banks the first information of this 

 species, which lately arrived from India, having been sent by the 

 Marquis Wellesley to David Scott, Esq.; and is now in the pos- 

 session of Mr. Brookes in the New Road, where I saw it. It is, 

 probably, a native of the mountainous parts of that country, and 

 appears perfectly new. In that excellent work of General Zoo- 

 logy lately published by Dr. Shaw, which contains more species, 

 and better arranged, than any work extant, it is not mentioned. 

 The animal appears to be between two and three years old, very 

 tame and inoffensive. A cow of the same species was coming 

 over witfc it, but died on the passage. This is all we can learn at 

 present relating to this animal.
