Cyrtonops, White, n. g. 
Head with largish eyes, which are hardly if at all emarginated. 
Palpi long, with the terminal joint nearly twice the length of the pre- 
ceding, obliquely truncated at the tip and covered on each side with 
shortish hairs*. Antennze cylindrical, covered with small hairs, third 
joint not much longer than the fourth. Thorax rather wider than 
long, the sides angulated. Elytra with the sides nearly parallel. 
Legs simple ; tibize compressed, and more or less thickly covered with 
short hairs. 
CYRTONOPS PUNCTIPENNIS, White. OC. brunneo-cinnamomeus, 
pilis brevibus erectis flavis tectus ; thorace punctato; scutello 
pilis adpressis tecto. lytris obscure tricostatis profunde 
punctatis, punctis longitudinaliter ordinatis.—Long. lin. 9-11. 
Hab. India. Coll. Brit. Mus. 
Of a rich cinnamon-brown, closely covered with short erect yellow- 
ish hairs. Thorax irregularly punctured, the punctures running into 
each other and sometimes leaving small smooth spaces. Scutellum 
rounded at the end, covered with short hairs, which lie close to the 
surface. Elytra with three rather indistinct longitudinal coste ; sur- 
face, except at the tip, with many deep punctures, more or less regu- 
larly arranged in lines; between these are smaller punctures, from 
which proceed the hairs. 
4. NotrEs oN THE Bovine ANIMALS OF THE MAtaAy PENINSULA. 
By GreorcGe WINbDsoR BARL. 
1. The Sapi, or Wild Ox of the Malay Peninsula, was scarcely 
known to exist until 1850, when Dr. Oxley, and a hunting-party 
from Singapore, killed a young cow on the banks of the Muah River. 
He described it as 6 feet 2 inches high at the shoulder, from hoof 
to dorsal vertebree ; back curved, highest about the centre. Horns 
small, curved inwards, white, tipped with black. Forehead flat, with 
tuft of long hair, large in the bulls. Hair smooth and silky. Colour 
brown, with white about the feet. Mane 2 inches long, running along 
the entire back. No dewlap. The bulls are from 7 to 7} feet high. 
The flesh is described as delicious. Calves could be obtained with a 
little trouble, but I suspect it would be difficult to get a full-grown 
animal ; but he would be worth something if caught. 
2. The Saladang, another species of wild cattle, is even less known 
than the Sapi, as no specimen has yet been shot by Europeans. It 
seems to me to be a sort of Bison, or Bos Gaurus. The males are 
10 feet high at the shoulder, and they are altogether fiercer and 
more formidable than the Sapi, but not so graceful. In my opinion 
it would be worth while for the Zoological Society to send a man out 
expressly for the purpose of bringing home specimens of these two 
* In one of the specimens there is a curious malformation of the palpi; from 
the third joint proceed two longish hairy joints, one of them bent.
