level of the orbits to the margin of the muzzle, where a 



secondary whorl is found. 

 Bos taurug or Chillingham Wild Cattle. — Of two specimens, one 



shows the whorl above, the other below the level of the 



orbits. 

 Bos bubalis, "I present a bi-lateral whorl below the level of 



Bos mindorensis, J the orbits. 

 Bos coffer. — Here the hair slopes uniformly from the whorl at 



the base of the great united horns to the small secondary 



whorl close to the margin of the muzzle. 

 Bos c/runniens, "] present thick long hair sloping to the small 

 Bos bonasas, I secondary whorl above the muzzle-margin, 



Ovibos moschatus, I from the base of the horns, no primary whorl 

 Bos amerieanus, J here being visible. 



Antelopes. Among these the exceptions are : — 



Oryx beisa, ^ 



Bubalis suaynei, j primary whorl ranging from a position 



Bubalis tora, Must below the base of the horns to the 



Bxtbalis tragocarnelus, [level of the orbits, and small secondary 



White-bearded Gnu, | whorl close to muzzle. 



Blue-brindled Gnu, J 



Saiya tartarica. — Muzzle shaped like that of Tapirs. Hair 

 slopes from bilateral whorls, situated a little below the 

 level of the orbits, towards the nares. Just above ihe nares 

 is found a secondary whorl, in one female specimen ; and 

 in a male specimen there is a third whorl between the two 

 other whorls. In this specimen the downward slope is 

 thus broken up in its course. 



Reindeer (Cervus tarandus). — Shows a whorl immediately above 

 the margin of the muzzle, from which the stream of hair 

 passes very closely in the long axis of the head over the 

 convex rounded upper lip to the level of the horns. 



Equidce. — All of those that 1 have been able to examine are 



exceptions to the Ordinary Type. (See fig. 1, Horse.) 

 Zebra has the whorl varying slightly above or slightly below 



the level of the orbits. 

 Quagga has the whorl nearer to the ears than Zebra. 

 Equus asinus (African Wild Ass) has the whorl at the level of 



the orbits. 

 Equus hemionvs (Asiatic Wild Ass) has the whorl below the level 



of the orbits. 

 Equus caballus, at the level of the orbits. 



The Domestic Horse, Ass, and Mule differ one from the other as 

 to the position of the whorl as follows : — In the Horse it is at or 

 just below the level of the orbits. In the Domestic Ass, which 

 appears to be the tamed Equus asimts, it is midway between the 

 level of the orbits and the muzzle. (In this connexion the great
