curve, three feet seven inches ; circumference at base, two 

 feet ; circumference midway, one foot six inches ; circum- 

 ference two thirds up the horn, one foot ; length in a 

 straight line, from base to tip, one foot five inches and a 

 half. The species has a small neck, and is the common 

 domestic breed of Bornou, where the Buffalo is said to have 

 small horns. 



Leguat, in his ' Voyages in 1 720, ' states that the oxen 

 are of three sorts at the Cape of Good Hope, all of a large 

 size, and very active; some have a hump on the back, 

 others have the horns long and pendent, while others have 

 them turned up and well shaped, as in English cattle.
