RECORDS OF BIG GAME 





Head of Bull Anoa, from life. 



ANOA (Bos depressicornis). 



The smallest member of the ox tribe, characterised by its straight, 

 upright horns, and the frequent presence of white spots on the sides 

 of the head or elsewhere. Although so different in the form of the 

 head and horns from the adult Indian buffalo, the anoa is in these 

 respects much more like the young of the latter ; and they are con- 

 nected to a considerable extent by the tamarau, or Philippine buffalo 

 {Bos niindorensis) of the island of Mindoro. As in all the Oriental 

 bovines, the hair of the fore part of the back is directed forwards in 

 the anoa. Height at shoulder about 3 feet 3 inches. 

 Distribtition. — The island of Celebes.
