This highly singular anim.al is a native of India, 

 and in its habits and manner of lying down is 

 said to resemble a camel. The height of the spe- 

 cimen described by Dr. Parsons was thirteen feet 

 to the top of the shoulders : the horns were seven 

 inches long, bent slightly forwards, and the eyes 

 were black and lively. Its colour was a light 

 grey, with a dusky tinge on some parts : on the 

 forehead was a black rhomboidal spot or patch ; 

 the lower part of the breast and under part of the 

 tail white : its voice is said to be hoarse and 

 croaking.
