uniform dark tawny, chestnut, or chocolate. Outside of 

 limbs uniformly chestnut in calves, which also show a dark 

 dorsal stripe. 



The range includes Java, Borneo, probably Sumatra, 

 Bali, apparently a portion of the Malay Peninsula, Burma 

 as far as the north of Pegu and Arakan, and thence through 

 the hill-country of Chittagong to Manipur, Siam, and 

 Cochin China. 



In addition to certain insufficiently described forms 

 referred to later, the following five races have been named, 

 although it is not at present possible to give the full distinc- 

 tive characters of all of them : 



A. White rump-patch extending 011 to upper surface 



of hind-quarters ; general colour of old bulls 

 blackish brown or black, the forehead and face

. Horns of bulls directed to a great extent 



outwards at first, and then curving in- 

 wards ; the span thus being relatively 



great ; forehead of skull rather convex, 



with the intercornual ridge elevated in 



the middle B.b.banteng. 



b. Horns of bulls directed at first upwards 



and outwards, at an angle of about 45, 



and then curving inwards to a moderate 



extent and slightly forwards ; the span 



thus being relatively small, and the 



horns themselves often smaller than in 



the preceding race ; forehead of skull 



almost flat with the intercornual ridge 



nearly straight B. b. lowi* 



B. Bump-patch less developed, not extending on to 



upper surface of buttocks ; general colour of 

 adult bulls ranging from dark fawn, orange,

 typical race. 



a. Coat uniformly coloured B. b. birmanicus. 



b. Coat, in the two known examples, finely 



flecked with white B. b. porteri. 



c. Apparently no white rump -patch ; colour of bulls 



dark B. b. butleri.
