194 account of the arnee. c. 14. 
by the natives. Europeans being unacquainted with 
the name, improperly call it the buffalo, which it 
resembles not at all in the horns, in which member 
the buffalo is conspicuously different from other 
animals of the Jos tribe. ° 
The figure above given is copied from a curious 
Indian painting in the pofsefsion of Gilbert Innes of 
Stow, esq. It forms one of a numerous group of fi- 
gures represented at a grand Eastern festival. There 
are two more of them in te same painting. In this 
and both the others, ‘the horns bend inwards ina cir- 
cular form ;_ and it would seem, too, that if a trans- 
verse section of ‘the horn was made at any place, 
that dso would be circular. But» this is a defect in 
the painting ; for although all the horns of the arnee 
tribe bend in a circular form, yet if the horn be cut 
transversely, that section is not circular, but rather 
of atriangular fhape. That part of the horn which 
fronts you when the animal looks you in the face, is 
nearly flat, havinga ridge projecting a little forward 
all along,.near the outer curvature of the horn ; : 
from that ridge, outward, it goes backward not, at 
right angles, but bending a little outward; and near 
the back part there is another, obtuse rounded ridge, 
where it turns inward, so as to join in another ob- 
tuse rounded angle at the inner curvature of the 
horn. Along the whole length, especially towards 
the base of the horn, there are irregular transverse 
dimples, or hollows and rugosities, more nearly re- 
sembling those of a ram than that of a common ox’s 
horn ; but no appearance of rings, denoting the age 
ef the animal, as in the horns of our cattle.
