BUBALUS CAAMA. 
the lore ones it is narrow and pointed superiorly, on the hinder blunt, rounded 
and arched obliquely backwards and upwards. The brownish red of the parts 
described is strongly glossed with grey. The extremities below the knees 
and houghs are light yellowish brown softened with grey, except in front, 
where each is marked with a narrow stripe of dark hair, most distinct on the 
fore legs ; the pastern-joints posteriorly are also of a dark brownish red 
colour. Lower lip pale reddish brown ; space behind muzzle rusty white. 
Ears externally light yellowish brown, internally white ; tail above at base 
the same colour as back, below white, towards tip reddish brown ; horns 
between umber and yellowish brown ; eyes light reddish orange. 
Form, &c.— Figure ill formed and ungainly, the hinder parts not developed 
in the same proportion as the fore parts. The height at the withers consider- 
ably gi eater than at the croup, which depends in some measure upon the 
greater length of the fore-legs, but chiefly upon the unusual elongation of 
the spinous processes of the first five or six dorsal vertebra. The head is 
long and narrow, the forehead prominent superiorly, and bearing the horns. 
The latter are nearly cylindrical and almost in contact at their bases. The 
fust two-thiids of each horn is scabrous from a series of elevated rings con- 
nected by longitudinal grooves, the last third smooth. The number of the 
rings vary according to the age of the animal ; thus they are found sometimes 
not to exceed ten, at other times there are from sixteen to eighteen : they vary 
much also in regard to their perfection, being found in many individuals 
not surrounding more than two-thirds of the horns, and in others forming 
complete circles, especially upon the first third. In full grown, but especially 
in aged individuals, many of these rings are broken and knotted anteriorly, 
more particularly those which occur upon the second third. The direction of 
the horns is at first backwards, and outwards, then forwards, and slightly 
inwards, in a regular curve, the concavity of which is forward; the last third 
of each horn is directed backwards and slightly outwards, and lies nearly 
at a light angle with the first two-thirds. Eyes large and soft. Ears ovate 
and patulous. Muzzle small and shaped somewhat like the head of an 
anow. About two inches below the inner corner of each eye there is a large 
flat and neaily circular suborbital gland and the fluid it secretes, which is 
viscid and tenacious, is discharged externally by one simple orifice; by this 
secretion, the surrounding hair is agglutinated into a hard mass, the appear- 
ance and situation of which will be understood from a reference to the figure. 
Each foot has an unguinal sinus, and there are two inguinal pores and two 
inguinal mammae. The tail is slender, the first third covered with short, and 
the last two-thirds with long hair, the latter is all turned backwards and
