the eyes across the horn-crest and so on to the nape of the neck 
is ashy-grey ; the lower portion of the limbs, from above the 
knees and hocks downwards, are pure white The colour of 
the horns is between olive green and black. The largest horns 
on record, from a beast shot in Salwen, Burma, and now 
preserved in the Bombay Museum, measured 3954 inches in 
length and 20li inches at the base. 
The Museum possesses a Seladang cow from Pahang, 
presented in 1889 by Mr. (now Sir) J. P, Rodger. Resident of 
Pahang at that time, and the skeleton of a young Bull, also 
from Pahang, presented in the same year by Capt. H. C Syers 
and Mr. W. C. Michell. In addition there is a large collection 
of horns from Johore and Pahang. left to the Museum in 1903 
by the late Dato Hole of Johore, and a very fine pair from 
Blimbing, Ulu Legeh. presented in 1896 by Mr. A. D. Machado. 
The largest of all. however, is a pair of horns from Ulu Pahang, 
presented in 1898 by Mr, H. Bertrand Roberts. These horns 
measure, along the outside curve, 28% and 28^/2 inches respec- 
tively, and i8J^ inches in circumference at the base,— The Sela- 
dang has a wide range, though it is confined to the mainland 
of S. E. Asia, from the South of India to the N. E. Himalayas. 
Assam. Burma and the Malay Peninsula. It does not occur on 
any of the islands. 
The Banting or Javan Ox, in Borneo also known as the 
Tembadau^ {Bos sondaicm) has a more eastern distribution than 
the Seladang, occurring in Burma, the Malay Peninsula, Java, 
Bali and Borneo. Strangely enough it has not yet been 
recorded from Sumatra. It is a smaller animal than the 
Seladang and though closely allied to it, approaches the 
common ox. Its dorsal ridge is much less developed, and the 
general colour is reddish brown to black especially in old bulls 
with the exception of its white * stockings ' and a white patch 
on the buttocks. It is a less interesting, but more useful 
animal than the Seladang, big herds of domesticated bantings 
being kept in Java and Bali and thence exported to Singapore 
and other places.— The Museum possesses a skull with horns 
from Borneo, presented in 1S97 by Mr. J. E. V. Morton, R,N. 
The Water-Buffalo or Kerbau {Bos biMits) is really a 
native of India, and the wild buffaloes which occur in Burma, 
Siam, the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java and Borneo, are 
probably descendants of domesticated individuals. Its horns 
are triangular in section and reach huge dimensions, with 
enormous sweeps, a pair of horns in the RafHes Museum, 
presumably from Siam, purchased last year (fQO;) measuring
