MAMMIFERODS ANIMALS. 383 



naturalists has been classed with the Goat. It 

 forms a strange mixture of other animals, the 

 head resembling the ox ; the body, mane, and 

 tail, the Horse ; the legs, the Stag- ; the lachry- 

 mal sinus, the Antelope ; and the horns, the Goat. 

 It is rather below the size of a common Galloway, 

 its general colour being of a dark brown, with 

 the exception of the tail and mane, which are of 

 a light grey ; and of the shagg on the chin and 

 breast, and the stiff hairs that stand erect on the 

 forehead and upper part of the face, which are 

 all black. 



The head is very large, thick, and clumsy, like 

 that of the ox ; with a square mouth, and broad 

 flaps over the nostrils, and short stiff hairs on 

 both lips ; those on the under lip, being inter- 

 mixed with long bristles. Over the nose, there is 

 a long, stiff brush of black hair ; and upon the 

 chin, throat, and chest, extending between 

 the fore legs, a hanging beard or brush of 

 wh te hair, which gives a peculiar char- 

 acter to the animal's external aspect. 

 Upon the neck, which is short, thick, and some- 

 what arched, we observe a strong, erect and ash 

 colored mane, and this, with the tail, which is 

 long, white and flowing, resembles that of (he 

 Horse. ks horns which are black, strong and 

 scabrous, take a very peculiar direction, as you 

 will perceive by the specimen presented to you, 

 and in their structure approach the nearest ta 

 those of the Goat.
