THE MALAYSIAN UNGULATES. 
referable to one species known as Muntiaeus taunt job. The 
range of this species is wide; it embraces India, Burma, Siam, 
Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Sumatra and Java. 
It is fairly common throughout its range, but perhaps 
more local in its distribution, 
10. THE PLEIHARI BARKING DEER. 
M untiacus pleiharicus. 
A small yellowish Beer, recorded originally from Plei- 
hari, S, Borneo, but since obtained by the F. M. 8, Museums 
collectors in Sarawak. Tlie antler pedicles and skull are 
shorter than in the ordinary Muntjac, which however appears 
to occur in the same locality. On this account it/, pleiharicus 
is treated as a distinct species. 
Oxen and goats. 
(Pam. T. BOV1DAE). 
This Family contains the Oxen, Sheep, Antelopes and Goats. 
Under “ Oxen ” are included bison, gatir, cattle and buffaloes. So 
far as Malaysia is concerned the wild Bovidak are poorly re- 
presented. In the Malay Peninsula are found the Gaur ($ela~ 
dang), Banteng and Goat-Antelope ( Seroiv ) ; hi Borneo the Ban- 
teng (Tembadau) and Water Buffalo; in Java the Banteng only, 
and in Sumatra the Goat- Antelope only. 
These Malaysian species are separated into two Subfamilies 
(i) Oxen ( Itovinae ), and (ii) Goats (Caprinae), distinguished 
thus ; — 
a About 5 ft, at the shoulder. Horns far apart 
anti growing outwards from sides of head Bos, 
ai About 3 ft. at the shoulder. Horns close to- 
gether and growing upwards from forehead Capricornis. 
The chief characters of the Rovidak are the hollow horns which 
are not shed. Like the l>er and Mouse-deer already described, the 
Bo vii ) a e lack the upper incisors and are cud-chewing animals, thus 
differing in both these characters from swine, which however share 
the common character of the even- toed feet. 
Subfam. I. BOVINAE. 
The three Malaysian species are separated thus;- — 
a Homs circular or oval in section, 
h No horny mass between horns. Forehead 
deeply concave. No white patch on 
buttocks . . - - . . B. gaums. 
fei Bases of horns connected by horny mass. 
Forehead flat or slightly convex. A 
white pnteh on the buttocks* .. B. banteng . 
a 1 Horns triangular in section . . . . B. babelis. 
i Except in the Malay Peninsula race.
