Genus Bos.

Knox gives this noble animal as existing in his time. 

 They are undoubtedly now extinct, which is much to be 

 regretted.

I think our Island species is identical with the Indian 

 race. It is not uncommon, but requires identification. I 

 have also seen another species, which I have little doubt 

 will prove to be the long-tailed Manis of authors. 



The above list of mammalia has been the result of about 

 three years' collection, principally in the Southern and 

 Northern divisions of the Island. It is still very imperfect, 

 and many more species and genera may be looked for from 

 the interior. 



I have trustworthy information of a true fox, and doubt not 

 that a search would amply repay the time and trouble 

 expended. 



Such as this list is, I present it to the Society in full hopes 

 that it may induce some one to come forward and contribute 

 towards rendering it perfect.
