•456 . Mr. H. I, Pocock on some 



a very distinct species from its American ally B. bison, and 

 so far as external appearance is concerned, especially as 

 regards the higher, flatter hind-quarters, serves to connect 

 the type of Bison with Bos. Nothing is known of its feet or 

 penis. Nevertheless, judging from living examples, the 

 rhinarium seems to he shaped like that of Bison bison. 



Genus Poephagus, Gray. 



Poephagus, Gray, List Mam in. Brit. Mus. p. 153 (1843); id. Cat. Ung. 

 Brit. Mus. p. 39 (1852) : type and only species, grunniens, Linn. 



The rhinarium (fig. 3, A, B) is low and depressed and the 

 whole of the upper surface is covered with short hair except 

 for a comparatively narrow strip running along the upper 

 margin of the nostrils. Beneath the inner edges of the 

 nostrils in front the rhinarium is a little wider than the 

 internarial septum, hut the lower portion of its anterior 

 surface is largely overgrown by the hairs of the upper lip, 

 which encroach towards the middle line, leaving a median 

 naked philtrum which is narrower than the internarial 

 septum. In this last-mentioned particular the rhinarium of 

 Poephagus differs from that of all other genera of Bovime. 



The penis, as recorded by Lonnberg (Ark. Zool. Stockholm. 

 (5) v. no. 10, 1909), has a short tubular urethral prolonga- 

 tion free from the terminal glandular thickening, apparently 

 exactly as in Bibos frontalis and banteng.

The rhinarium of the two very distinct species I have 

 examined — namely, depressicomis and bhbalis — seems to 

 resemble that of Bos and Bibos in all essential characters, 

 exhibiting a large naked dorsal area and a nearly parallel- 

 sided area below the level of the nostrils in front, which is 

 wider than the internarial septum. 



The feet have the interlingual integument naked. 



The penis I have not examined, but according to Lonnberg 

 (Nova Acta Sue. Upsal. (3) xx. p. 60, pi. ii. fig. ]6, 1903) 

 there is no definite tubular urethral prolongation in A. de- 

 pressicomis. His figure, nevertheless, suggests the presence
