This fossil species displays considerable analogies in 

 such portions of the skeleton as are known, to the Bison 

 (Bos Americunus,) or common Buffalo of the United 

 States, but the form of the skull, and peculiar disposition 

 of the horns in the fossil, distinguish it as a nondescript 

 species. 



Locality. Big-bone-lick and other similar morasses. 

 The fossil teeth of this species are very common.

 headed Fossil Ox. 



This specimen, a mutilated skull of large dimensions, 

 is in the cabinet of the Am. Philos. Soc. Philad. It re- 

 sembles in many respects the skull of the Auroch, (Bos 

 urus, Cuv.) The horn is twenty-eight inches in cir- 

 cumference at its base. 



Locality. State of Kentucky. According to Cuvier, 

 similar fossil skulls have been found in Europe, on the 

 borders of the Rhine, near to Cracovie in Bohemia &c.
