278 CLASS MAMMALIA. 



feet six inches in length, from the nose to the tail, and two 

 feet four inches in height at the shoulder ; the muzzle is 

 broad, black, and moist ; the suborbital sinus is consider- 

 able, secreting a yellowish viscous humour through a nar- 

 row opening, and shewing, on each side upon the inter- 

 maxillary bone, a naked and smooth streak of eighteen or 

 twenty lines in length ; the horns are six inches long, 

 rather stout at base, nearly reclining with the plane of the 

 nose, recurved one inch distant below, three inches at 

 the tips, furnished with ten or twelve wrinkles and annuli, 

 and the points smooth ; the middle incisors of the teeth 

 are very broad, and the lateral not overlapping, but touch- 

 ing and spreading outwards ; the head and body is entirely 

 covered with black hair, close upon the sides of the face, 

 longer and rougher on the body ; but the neck from behind 

 the horns to the end of the withers is furnished with white 

 hair, still longer and very abundant, forming a kind of 

 mane ; from the corners of the mouth the under jaw and 

 gullet are likewise covered with long white hair, mixed 

 with some yellowish ; the legs are black, and the tail of the 

 same colour is short, and furnished with longish hairs; the 

 hoofs high and strongly resemble those of a goat; the female 

 is without horns, and has less white about the neck and 

 throat. 



A drawing which we copied from an original in the pos- 

 session of a Dutch gentleman, represented an animal of 

 this genus, probably a variety, said to be from Malacca. In 

 this the face, from the nose to the middle of the forehead, 

 was distinctly marked with a chaffron of long and coarse 

 black hair, the cheeks, neck, and body being bluish ash, 

 and the fur short and shining ; on the withers a small 

 tuft, and beneath the under jaw a small spot of white. In 

 other respects resembling the Cambing, but more slender 

 and elegant in form. 



The species resides in the mountain forests of Sumatra,
