dark colour that these animals get when old is figured on 
Plate XII. 
fll) A male Anoa, Bos depressicornis. This animal is 
unfortunately blind in one eye, the injury having been caused 
by that frequent source of trouble in menageries — -a Nilgai, 
Boselaphys tragocamelus. 
(12) A nice herd of twelve Thameng, or Burmese Brow- 
antlered Deer, Cervus eldi.
