a very distinct species from its American ally B. bison, and 

 so far as external appearance is concerned, especially as 

 regards the higher, flatter hind-qnarters, serves to connect 

 the tvpe of Bison with Bos. Nothing is known of its feet or 

 ])enis. Nevertheless, judging from living examples, tlie 

 rhinarinm seems to be shaped like that of Bison bison.

The rhinarinm (fig. 3, A, B~) is low and depressed and the 

 whole of the npper surface is covered with short hair except 

 for a comparatively narrow strip rnnning along the np|)(>r 

 margin of the nostrils. Beneath the inner edges of the 

 nostrils in front the rhinarinm is a little wider than the 

 internarial septnm, hut the lower portion of its anterior 

 surface is largely overgrown by the hairs of the upjier lip, 

 which encroach towards tlie middle line, leaving a median 

 naked philtrnm which is narrower than the internarial 

 septum. In this last-mentioned particular the rhinarinm of 

 Popplimjus differs froifi that of all other genera of Bovinoe. 



The penis, as recorded by Lonnbcrg (Ark. Zool. Stockholm, 

 (5) v. no. 10, 1909), has a short tubular urethral prolonga- 

 tion free from the terminal glandular thickening, apparently 

 exactly as in Bibos frontalis and banteng.

The rhinarium of the two very distinct species I have 

 examined — namely, depressicoriiis and bnbalis — seems to 

 resemble that of Bos and Bibos in all essential characters, 

 exhibiting a large naked dorsal area and a nearly ])arallel- 

 sided area below the level of the nostrils in front, which is 

 wider than the internarial septum.
