In As. Res. XIII, App. XVIII, " horns of the hill cow' of Arakan" (probably 
those of G. G/VURUs) are recorded as having been presented by Lieut. J. Home ; 
in As. Res. XVI, App. XI, the " horn of a wild cow, shot in the forests of the 
Wakroo district, on the route from Ye to Martaban," is mentioned to have

to the India-house museum. — E. B.
