nasal. Muffle large, rather narrow below. Hoofs very broad.

Mr. Turner observes: “ Although Major Smith was deceived 
as to the affinities of the Anoa, later as well as earlier naturalists 
have assigned it to its true place, and a glance at the stuffed spe- 
cimen in the British Museum leaves the matter beyond a doubt. 
I have exammed the skull in the Museum of the College of Sur- 
geons, and cannot see that it has even a title to generic distine- 
tion. Naturalists seem at all times to have been prone to assign 
generic rank to whatever was mysterious or difficult to classify, 
and I can in no other way account for this species beg made a 
genus.”—Proc. Zool. Soc. 1849. Mr. Turner must have ob- 
served the skull very superficially, for it offers many characters, 
especially in the palate, which separate it from the Buffaloes and 
all the other Bovee, t. 3. f. 1, 2.
