seven inches ; length of the horns, five inches ; of the ears, 

 six inches ; total length of the fore-leg, one foot three 

 inches ; length of the posterior cannon bone, or from the 

 toe to the hough, one foot. The structure of the animal, 

 and particularly of the limbs, is remarkably solid ; the horns 

 placed high on the head, little elevated from the plane of 

 the nose, much approximated, parallel, the superior third 

 alone slightly bent outward, and then again inward and 

 forward; they are black, round, and obtuse at the point, 

 shew at base a succession of six or seven very irregular 

 coarse wrinkles, then a striated space, surmounted by a 

 second series of irregular wrinkles, striae and obsolete an- 

 nuli, not easily described with clearness. There is no ex- 

 ternal opening of a lachrymary sinus, and the suborbital 

 pouch is scarce perceptible ; the ears are wide, long, and 

 open, marked with three grayish streaks within ; round the 

 base of the horns, the hair is long, lying outwards, and 

 upon them of a bright fulvous colour ; the forehead is 

 dun, and the chaffron black down to the muzzle, which is 

 small and round ; round the eyes, cheeks, sides of the nose, 

 and back of the ears, the colour is reddish-buff gray ; the 

 neck, back, flanks, croup and buttocks, are covered with 

 rather coarse loose hair of a brownish rusty dun colour, 

 producing a dark Isabella teint ; the throat, belly, and in- 

 side of the limbs, more ashy ; the tail is short, twisted, lined 

 with coarse hair, above black, beneath white ; the legs 

 dark buff, with a blackish streak down their front, from the 

 shoulder to the fetlock, from whence it spreads, and ren- 

 ders the pastern wholely black ; the hind-legs have a similar 

 line along the shanks, and upon the anterior part of the 

 pasterns ; these are very short and strong, and the hoofs 

 rather high pointed and black. 



We propose to distinguish, provisionally, this species by 

 the name of the traveller, to whose arduous enterprise we 

 are indebted for this and many other subjects of the
