GRUNTING OX. 
ebnel-udes Bufron, " that this Grunting Cow 
of Graelin, is nQthing else but the Bison, 
tinA (ioes not constitute a particular species." 
To take the aecount of Gmelin only, when 
there are so many others ; and argue, with a 
perhaps," when he ought to have sought for 
the h^Sy which are so easily ascertained ; is 
not the most candid method of investigating 
truth. Surely, Buffon could be at no loss to 
know, that Rubruquis, though not in the par- 
cular passages which happen to be quoted by 
Gmelin, calls this animal, " Vacca Gruni- 
ens ;." or, " the Grunting Cow 1"
