Proc. Zool. Koc., 1889, p. 448, of a bull, apparently М i Bos

Recently I have received from Mr. H.C. Robinson, Curator of 
the Selangor State Museum, two skulls * — wild oxen ге the 
Malay Peninsula for determination. of these, which i 
terised by the very small horns (some 6 Turm in length) Circe to 
an animal shot by Capt. J. C. Lamprey, of the Malay States Guides, in 
Perak. It is figured i in the Journal of the Bombay Natural History 
Society, vol. xiii, z 192 (1900). e animal was lost when fired at

red by a tiger. Capt. Lamprey described its colour as rich red- 
dish chestnut with no white rump patch and with blackish " pride. 
and muzzle. 
Ос describing this specimen in the passage cited, A E 
Butler, then Curator of the Selangor Museum, — ssed thé: opinion

If, as I think probable, "us Lamprey's specimen is a female, both 
the aovo ш" refer to cows. In the deseription of a bull by 
Daviso: ve, the general colour is said to be blackish, 
with vedas h райы. the horns are stated to be large and no men- 
tion is made of a white rump patch. 
Accordingly all the available evidence points to the — 
that the Malay sapi utan has no white rump patch, and *'stockin 
in colour from dirty white to blackish or reddish, while the чысы 
have very small horns. In that the old. bulls are dark colou red жшн 
the young and cows ате rufous, it accords with the Javan and Born 
rather ems with the tsine or Burmese race of the banting, in wliich

If a foregoing data are trustworthy (and I cannot t ge behind 
them) we seem to have decisive evidence that the sapi utan is à per- 
fectly distinct form, although apparently a race of the Bains rather 
than a distinct species. As a skull from Perak, figured and described 
by Mr. Butler in the Journal aed the Bombay Natural History Society 
for 1900, has been ршен y Mr. Robinson to the British Museum, 
propose to regard it as the type of the Malay race, which may be
