Describes and figures the skull of a Bovine from San Paulo belonging

Divides the African Buffalos into two groups, viz. : Black Buffalos — 
Bubalus caffer ; and Red Buffalos — Bubalus brachyceros and B. pumilus. 
It is suggested that there may be another representative of the second 
group, allied to B. depressicornis of Celebes. A map is given illustrative 
of distribution, and there are also figures of horns.

It is concluded that the urethral groove found on the inferior face of 
the genital tubercle is not a primary structure ; also that the cloacal 
bourgeon persists till the embryo attains a length of 32 mm. ; and that 
there is a shifting of the relative position of this bourgeon and the rectum 
as development proceeds.
