 Hab. High Mountain districts; called Cossea in the East of 



Sylhet. 



They are bred by the middling and lower classes of the inha- 

 bitants of the highest Cossia mountains. Neither the skin nor 

 hair is applied to any use. The hair is coarse and straight, long 

 and pendulous, and has no wool mixed with it, by which it is 

 easily distinguished from the Shawl Goat. Ears spread, covered, 

 like the legs, with short hair. Tail small and short. 



" The female long-haired Goat is said sometimes to produce 

 at a birth one kid like itself, and another short-haired, like the 

 Common Goat of Bengal/' Buchanan, Hamilton, MSS.
