THE OX. 



Furious charge of a Cape Buffalo, 



When pursued by the hunter the Cape Buffalo tears through the thicket and up the mountain side with 

 surprising impetuosity. Not unfrequently, however, it turns upon its pursuer and charges him with the" 

 greatest fury. Many are the fatal accidents and narrow escapes from death recorded by the travellers 

 who have penetrated the country near the Cape of Oood Hope. 



That singular animal the Yak, or granting Cow of Tartary, is a small species, the tail of which is covered 

 with long fine hair; it has also a inane on the back, and is from the mountains of Thibet. The standards 

 used by the Turks to distinguish their superior officers were formerly made of the tail of the Yak. 



The Musk Ox, has been considered as holding an intermediate station between the Ox and the sheep. 

 They belong to the treeless and barren lands of North America. The hair is long and somewhat curled, 

 of a brown color. When fat its flesh is tolerable, but at certain times both that of the Bulls and Cows smells 

 strongly of Musk.
