i account of the arnee. 19% 
Upon the whole, the singular conformation of the 
horns of this animal, sufficiently distinguithes it from 
all others of the ox kind, that have been hitherto 
described by naturalists, and pvints it out as a di- 
stinct variety. Its size also would alone be nearly 
sufficient to have made this probable. What its o- 
ther qualities are, and, in particular, whether it 
‘could ever be introduced with profit, as a domestie 
animal, into any part of Europe, cannot, in the pre- 
sent state of our knowledge, be ascertained. 
There are a pair of very large horns, nearly re 
sembling these in respect to their curvature, in the 
syuseam of Dr Walker, profefsor of natural history 
in the University of Edinburgh; but as these are 
nearly circular every where, if cut transversely, it 
would seem that they must have belonged to some 
other animal of the ox tribe, and not the arnee. 
Nothing farther needs to be observed, unlefs it be 
that the horns rise right upwards, nearly in the same 
plane with that of the forehead, neither bending for- 
ward nor backward at the point. The horn for its 
size, is much thinner and lighter than that of an. or-_ 
dinary ex’s horn. i 
Dr Walker has. also in his museum a pair of 
horns, evidently of an animal of the goat kind, of un- 
common size, measuring about three feet in length. 
These horns came from the East Indies, and must 
have belonged to some creature found in the irternal 
parts of those unknown countries. Any notices re- 
specting this creature, or the arnee, from our corres 
pondents in India, will prove highly acceptable,
