154 THE OX AND ITS KINDRED 
ly rate-horned type of humped cattle, as will be 
evident by comparison of the figure of a Burmese 
tsaine, or bantin, on Plate XXI, with that of the skull 
and horns of a Gujrati humped bull on Plate XX. 
In the tsaine-head the horns are directed outwards, 
backwards, then forwards and upwards, and finally 
inwards and backwards; and it results from this 
curvature that a convexity is present on the front 
surface, although situated somewhat higher up than 
in the Gujrati humped bull. In some Galla humped 
cattle the tips of the horns are directed outwards, 
as in the tsaine. 
Bull tsaine have a comparatively large dewlap, 
extending well up on the throat, although not 
reaching to the chin. 
Another point is that the tsaine is a tawny- 
coloured animal, darker in bulls than in cows, and 
approximating in both these respects to many of the 
Indian breeds of humped cattle. It is true that in 
both tsaine and typical bantin the legs are wholly 
white from the knees and hocks downwards, while 
there is a large white rump-patch. This rump-patch 
is, however, to a considerable extent smaller in the 
domesticated bantin of the Island of Bali, as is 
mentioned in the next chapter, and it therefore 
seems quite probable that the light fetlock-ring of 
humped cattle may represent the " white stockings " of 
the tsaine and the bantin. 
As already mentioned, many humped bulls in 
India, especially the so-called Bramini bulls, are 
black, while the cows are generally, if not invariably, 
lighter coloured. This appears to be an indication 
of affinity with the typical Javan bantin, in which 
old bulls are black, while cows and calves are bay.
