PRICES OF ANIMALS, | 293 
B. (Bison) bonasus.—I have only once seen a specimen of the 
European Bison offered for sale—it was a bull—for which £250 
was asked. 
B. (B.) americanus.—The American Bison figures on price 
lists fairly regularly, at from £50 to £100 per head. £387 10s., for 
a four months old bull calf, is the lowest price I have noted, and 
£150 for a five years old bull is the highest price I have seen 
asked. 
B. (Pephagus) grunniens. — As the Yak breeds freely in 
European menageries, it does not fetch a large price when sold: 
usually about £12 10s. to £15 a head, going up to £17 or £18 at 
most. Bulls and cows appear to be of equal value. 
B. (Bibos) frontalis, Gayal. — £75 asked for an adult cow 
(once). 
B. (B.) sondaicus, Banting. — £40 asked for a young male 
(once).-: 
B. (Bubalis) buffelus.—For domestic Indian Water-Buffaloes, 
generally bred in Europe, I have noted the following prices: 
£7 10s., £10, £15 and £17 10s. | 
B. (Anoa) depressicornis.—The Anoa I have only twice seen 
priced, once £15 (for a young female), and once £25. 
Antelopes. 
Bubalis (Damaliscus) albifrons, Bless-bok.—From £40 or £50 
each, to at times perhaps as much as £75. 
B. (D.) pygargus, Bonte-bok.—£100 for a bull (once). 
Connochetes gnu, White-tailed Gnu. — £75 to £100 each:
