back, which descends (as in the Buffaloes and Zebus), 

 -abruptly towards the tail ; 3d, in the greater length of the 

 legs ; and 4th, in the forehead, which is only three inches 

 and a half between the bases of the horns, whilst in the 

 Common Ox it is nine inches. 



The horns represented in the following sketch, are 

 those of the Hungarian Ox (a variety of Bos Taurus), 

 and are almost as remarkable for their length and ex- 

 pansion as those of the Abyssinian Sanga. The length 

 of each horn is three feet four inches and a half, and the 

 distance between the tips is five feet one inch. The 

 sketch is from a specimen in the British Museum.
