204 MISS K. p. LANDER ON THE 



upper lip as a narrow mesially grooved strip, wliicli is longer than 

 in JSfcemorhedus owing to the greater depth of the npper lip. 

 Laterally an area of naked skin, narrower than in Ncemorhedus, 

 is continued with a bold curve beneath the widely expanded 

 nostrils, aiid curving round their posterior extremities passes into 

 the dorsal portion of the rhinarium, which is much shorter from 

 before backwards than in Ncemorhedus, being considerably more 

 overgrown with hair. 



"Tlie feet resemble in essential particulars those of the dried 

 example figured and described in 1910, except that on the foi-e 

 foot there is no trace of the transverse ridge of integument just 

 where the hair of the pastern ceases in the interungual space. 

 There is no trace of deiinite pedal gland, although the hair at the 

 bottom of the interdigital depression in front is stuck together 

 Avith secretion indicating activity of the skin at that spot. The 

 hind foot is like the fore foot. 



"There is no tv&CQ oi preorbital gland or oiinguinal glands in 

 the ordinary sense of that term ; but the two mammte on each 

 side, set as far out from the middle line as the outer edge of the 

 scrotum, are close together, one in front of the other, in the centre 

 of a distinct swelling like a small udder. When the skin is cvit 

 away, this swelling is seen to be caused by a blackish glandular 

 mass like a small bunch of grapes, and blackish secretion could 

 be squeezed thi-ough a single pore on the posterior teat with the 

 use of considerable pressure. This unusual condition of the 

 mammary gland in the male is worth putting on record, although, 

 pending the examination of other specimens of Budorccis, it must 

 be regarded, I think, as pathological in one individual. 



" The penis is provided with a pendulous prepuce, three inches 

 long, rising from the abdomen six inches in front of the scrotum. 

 Just within the orifice of the prepuce the skin is highly glandular 

 and overgrown with long hairs, which protrude from the aperture 

 to form a tuft three or four inches long. The glans penis is 

 apically attei:iuated and provided with a straight, moderately 

 stout, urethral prolongation projecting some little way beyond 

 the tip of the glans. Except for the greater elongation of the 

 free portion of the urethral canal, the glans penis is very like that 

 of Ncemorhedus.'' 



Mr. Pocock points out that some marked differences may be 

 found in these respects between Budorcas and Ovibos, particularly 

 in the strong development of the rhinai'ium in the former and 

 its great reduction in the latter, and in the prolongation of the 

 urethral canal beyond an attenuated glans in the penis of the 

 Tnkin, while in the Musk-ox the canal is not produced beyond 

 tlie glans, which is blunt at its end. 



In the presence of a preorbital gland and hairs between the 

 hoofs Ovibos differs from Budorcas, as also in the arrangement 

 of the four mamm», the absence of a protruding tuft of hairs 

 from the prepuce, and the presence of longitudinal ridges in its 

 cavity.
