EXISTING KINDS OF WILD CATTLE 233 
anoas, on the other hand, are clothed in a dense coat 
of woolly hair, which,' as shown in the right-hand 
figure of the same illustration, is in due course shed 
in large fleecy masses. This juvenile coat may be 
either blackish or bright golden brown, the brown 
tint persisting in some at least of the cows of the 
white-spotted type. The tails of these spotted anoas 
appear to be shorter than in a black specimen in 
the British Museum, in which the tuft reaches the 
hocks. 
The existence of anoas with bright brown juvenile 
coats, and a brownish dress in at least some of the 
adult cows, was first made known to me in 1905 by 
the specimens shown in the photographs, which were 
at that time living in the Government Gardens at 
Trivandrum, on the Travancore coast of Madras ; and 
in the same year I tentatively regarded them as 
indicating a race apart from the wholly black anoa 
under the name of B. depressicornis fergusoni} in 
honour of a former director of the Trivandrum 
Museum and Gardens. As Celebes is a large island, 
extending over eight and a half degrees of latitude 
and embracing an area of over 3300 square miles, 
it may, therefore, as was long ago pointed out 
by Dr. K. M. Heller,^ well be the home of two 
distinct types of anoa, each limited to a particular 
district. 
Of the habits and mode of life of the pigmy 
buffalo comparatively little is known. It has, how- 
ever, been ascertained that those tiny cattle are 
mainly, if not exclusively, restricted to the moun- 
tainous portions of their native island, where they
