15. Probubalus Mindorensis. sp. nov. Mindoro. See brief 

 description in "Nature," of August 16th, 1888. 



The tamarou, seems to be limited to the island of Mindoro, 

 where it is found inhabiting cane brakes and thick, low jungle near 

 water. The adults are lead black with whitish markings upon the 

 face, neck, legs and under surface. The hair is thin and short. 

 A calf apparently of five or six months old is chestnut in color. A 

 curious equality of size and proportions exists in all the adults killed, 

 irrespective of sex. They average about eight feet from the end of 

 nose to tip of tail. The tail is about eighteen inches long. The height 

 of the adult at the shoulder and roots of tail is three feet six inches. 

 The chief sexual differences noted were the thicker neck and horns 

 of the bull, the bases of the horns being also nearer together than 

 in the female.
