196 account of the arnee. Dec. 1% 
to three years old, and lean at the time, we might 
easily conceive that if it had attained its full growth, 
and been fully fatted, it might have weighed three 
times that weight, or upwards of 4000 Ib. that is two 
ton weight, the four quarters,—an immense size of 
an animal. ) 
- From the appearance of the three animals of) this 
sort, in the painting above referred to, it would 
seem that it is quite docile and easily tamed for 
they are all standing quietly, with a person on their- 
back, who guides them by means of a rein, being a 
cord fastened to the gristle of the nose in the Eastern 
manner, and not in the mouth, as the engraver by 
mistake has made it in our plate. 
There seems to be~another defect in the drawing, 
when compared with the bones of the head in Mr 
. Haig’s pofsefsion; for in our drawing, the head 
seems to be thicker and fhorter than that of am or- 
dinary ox; but in Mr Haig’s, the bone. seems to be 
longer in proportion to its breadth, tham an. ox’s 
_ head usually is with us. Whether this has been 
only an accidental deviation from the common form, 
or whether the original drawing has been incorrect, 
we are not authorised to say. The tail is also a 
little longer in our figure, than in the copy from 
which it was taken. ‘Fhe other proportions are weil 
preserved. _ 
The colour of this animal in all the three Pas 
is a pure black all over, except between the horns; 
where there is a small tuft of longith hair, ofa io 
red colour.
