Skull and Horns of Gayal. From Mr. A. O. Ilume’s specimen. 
B.— DOMESTICATED BREED or GAYAL. 
The gayal is a rather smaller animal than the wild gaur, nearly 
black in colour, with a large dewlap, and a straight line between the 
bases of the massive horns, which are but little divergent, curved 
upwards, nearly cylindrical in section, and of dark colour. The head 
is short, with the forehead broad and flat. The gayal, or mithan, is 
a domesticated breed of the gaur, probably derived from the Malay and 
Tenasserim race of the latter. 
Distribution——Kept in a semi-domesticated condition by many of the 
hill-tribes of Assam, Chittagong, etc.
