and of one or two spots on each side of the under-jaw, 
as well as patches above the lateral hoofs ; but there may 
also be white blotches on the neck and back, and in front 
of the eyes, while more or less of white may appear on 
the muzzle and the whole of the lower portion of the 
limbs. The special interest attaching to these white 
markings is that the spots on the sides of the face as 
well as the gorget on the throat are also met with 
among certain antelopes, such as the kudu and the bush- 
bucks; and from this it has been inferred that the anoa 
is more nearly related to the antelopes than is any other 
member of the ox tribe. Although this may be true to 
a certain extent, the connection with the kudu tribe is 
remote. 
According to the meagre accounts we at present possess 
of the creature in its native haunts, the anoa dwells in 
pairs on the elevated ground of the interior of Celebes, 
where it passes most of its time in thick forests in the 
neighbourhood of water. In associating in pairs it is 
quite unlike all other wild cattle, with the possible excep- 
tion of the Philippine tamarau ; and here again it presents 
a resemblance to the kudu and bushbucks, which also 
generally go about in pairs or small family parties. 
Examples of the anoa are but rarely seen alive in 
England, although they do not appear very difficult to 
procure. The first specimen exhibited in the London 
Zoological Gardens was purchased in May, 1871, and a 
second was obtained by exchange in June, 1880. Between 
the latter date and 1896 (when the last complete list 
of the animals in the menagerie was published) not a 
single example of this very interesting little buffalo was 
obtained. At Woburn Abbey the pair represented in the 
accompanying photograph dwelt in a good-sized paddock
