shoulder usually varies from about 6 feet to 6 feet 4 inches, though 
specimens of more than 5 feet 5 or 6 inches are not often killed ; it is, 
however, stated that a Nilgiri bull stood 6 feet 10 inches, while Kachar 
and Burmese bulls have been asserted to reach 7 feet at the withers. 
Distribution.—The forest hill-tracts of Peninsular India, Assam, Burma, 
Siam, and the Malay Peninsula, as well as the forests along the outer 
Himalaya as far west as Nepal. South of the Ganges, where it 
has not been exterminated, the gaur inhabits suitable districts in 
Chutia Nagpur, Orissa, the Northern Circars, Central Provinces, 
Hyderabad territories, and all the Western Ghats. The Burmese 
race, or pyun (B. g. readez), is nearly black, with a throat-tuft ; 
and in the Malay race, or saladang (B. ¢. hubdback2), the arch on the 
crown of the skull is less developed, and may be absent.
