LITTLE INDIAN BUFFALO. 
description ; from which, notwithstanding his

Indian Buffalo of Edwards, our ingenious 
countryman appears to have been perfedtly 
right. 
This is Buffon's new description — The Ze- 
bu was not larger than a calf of nine weeks 
old. We knew it, however, to be an aduh, 
and at least seven or eight years of age, by in- 
spe6tion of it's teeth. It arrived at the mena- 
gerie of Versailles in August 1761, and it's 
horns were then as large as they are now in 
the year 1763. They are five inches three 
lines long, and four inches three lines in cir- 
cumference at the base. They are black at the 
points, and in every other respeft resemble 
those of the common ox. It has a bunch on 
the withers four inches and a half high, and 
it's circumference at the base is sixteen inches. 
In other respedts, it differs not in figure from 
our ox ; except that its legs and feet are pro- 
portionably smaller, and it's ears larger.. 
The tuft of hair above the coronet is black ; 
the legs and upper part of the tail are yellow-
