KOBUS ELLIPSIPRYMNtlS. 
pointed, internally coated with long soft hair disposed in longitudinal stria, 
which are divided from each other by intervening naked spaces, externally 
thickly coated with close and short rigid hair. The hair generally is coarse and 
wiry, that which covers the chaffron, the lips, the outer surface of the ears, the 
anterior extremities and the hinder ones below the houghs, short and dense, 
that elsewhere long and shaggy ; on the anterior parts of the body the hair is 
longer than on the hinder parts, and on the neck longest. On the middle of 
the back about a foot behind the shoulders, a small whorl exists, and in front 
of that all the hairs of the back are directed forwards, while those behind ex- 
tend backwards. Tail cylindrical and tapered, tip tufted with long hair, else- 
where the covering is short and dense. Groins nearly bare, no inguinal pores, 
scrotum densely covered with short white hair, no unguinal sinuses nor sub- 
orbital glands. Eye-balls full ; the expression of the eyes fierce, and indica- 
tive of ferocity and determination. 
Horns placed upon the frontal crest over the posterior angles of the eyes ; 
the first half of each extends slightly backward and much outwards, the next 
half forwards and inwards with a uniform curvature, the concavity of which 
is in front ; in form they are somewhat cylindrical, the first or basal half being 
marked with elevated rings, varying in number from twelve to twenty-three, 
and extending more or less upon the last half; the rings do not appear in 
general to be complete, or at least equally distinct upon the outer side of the 
horns, apparently from being rubbed down by friction; the extreme or distal 
portion of each horn smooth. Between the annuli the horns are marked with 
deep and regular stria, which observe a longitudinal direction. 
Viscera. — The stomach consists of four pouches: the first is very large 
and nearly oval, the second, third, and fourth are comparatively small ; the 
communication between the first and second is very small, between the second 
and third considerably larger. The first pouch especially adjoining the en- 
trance of sesopliagus is lined with numerous slender, but firm and pointed 
papillce, each about two lines in length ; the second stomach is very muscu- 
lar and of a roundish form, internally furnished with loose membranous 
folds, each of which is edged with fine hard minute papillce ; the third is 
thinner than the second, and like it is furnished internally with loose mem- 
branous folds, but without papillce, Ccecum smooth internally, and not saccu- 
lated. The stomach from the entrance of the sesophagus to its lower edge 
two feet in length, the greatest breadth of the first pouch 18 inches. Small 
intestines 60 feet long; large intestines 20; ccecum 15 inches. Spleen about 
a foot in length, firmly attached to the stomach, and deeply emarginate 
on the lower edge. Liver massive, broader than deep, and inferiorly partially
