Gen. — Equus, Linne. 

 Equus caballus, Linne. 

 The horse, " Kuda" of the Malays, appears not to be indigenous in 

 the Peninsula. The few ponies, which the wealthier use for ordinary 

 purposes, are imported either from Siam, Burma, or Sumatra. The 

 Malays either travel by water, or prefer the elephant as a locomotive 

 more dignified than the horse.
