VERTEBRATA. MAMMALIA. 



small species, domesticated in Thibet. It resembles 

 the last in the length of its hair : but it has a long 

 mane on the back, and a tail free and flowing, like 

 that of the Horse. The Buffalo of India (B. Bu- 

 balus) is distinguished by its horns, which project 

 sidewise, and by its rounded forehead. It is a 

 powerful and somewhat vicious animal, but is used 

 in the East for drawing carriages. The Jengell Ox, 

 (B. Frontalis,) used in the northern districts of India, 

 resembles the common Ox in some of its characters. 

 Finally, the Cape Buffalo, (Bos Coffer,) an animal 

 of great size, and most ferocious disposition, inhabits 

 the woods, to the north of the Cape of Good Hope, 

 completing the series.
