BULLET AND SHOT 



In colour, the cows and immature bulls are bright 

 chestnut, and the old bulls black, with a white patch 

 on each buttock. 



In size, the tsine is much inferior to the gaur, 

 and he lacks both the dorsal ridge and the frontal 

 crest of bone appertaining to the latter. His horns 

 are very small, the largest quoted in Rowland 

 Ward's Horn Measurements being only 24^ inches 

 in length, and 12^ inches in girth. He, like the 

 gaur, is devoid of a dewlap. 



In Burmah this animal is, I believe, shot either 

 from elephants, or by beating a large stretch of 

 jungle with a number of men, and he is said to be 

 more pugnaciously inclined when wounded than is 

 the gaur. 



The vernacular name for this animal is 

 Burmese Tsoing. 



NOTE. For an article dealing at length with this animal, see 

 appendix.
