THIS very beautiful and active-ltfoking animal is 

 found on the jungles bordering the woods of Northern 

 India, and from all our accounts, seems to increase in 

 number as we approach the confines of Persia. Our 

 first accurate information regarding it, is acknow- 

 ledged by all to be due to Lord Clive, who intro- 

 duced a pair to this country in 1767, which bred 

 regularly, and were tame and gentle. Another pair 

 were soon after described in detail by Dr W. Hun- 

 ter, the brother of the distinguished anatomist and 

 naturalist whose memoir precedes the descriptive 

 portion of this volume. 



The specimen which served for the accompanying 

 Jlltistration, with a female, forms a part of the Edin- 



* Blue or Grey Bull.
