BUBALUS LUNATUS. 
this species. On each fore leg it descends almost to the knee joint, and for 
some inches above its termination is darker than elsewhere, and completely 
encircles the limb ; above the point where the extension commences, the dark 
maik is restricted to a portion of the outer and anterior aspects of the leg, and 
under the same form in which it exists at the point of union between the body 
and limb it ascends upon the outer surface of the shoulder till it reaches within 
a few inches of the hunch, where it terminates in an indistinct point. Both 
anteriorly and posteriorly the upper portion of this mark is margined with a 
stripe of hair of the same colour as that which covers the upper lip ; behind, 
the colour descends considerably lower than in front, its termination being 
not many inches above the knee joint. On the hinder leg the dark mark 
occupies the outer aspect of the thigh, and extends from the hough obliquely 
upwards and forwards till it disappears immediately above and outside of the 
groin ; towards its lower extremity it also completely encircles a portion of 
the limb. Below the knees and houghs, the colour is light reddish orange. 
The belly and inner surface of the legs towards the body are rusty white or 
dull cream-yellow. The hair of the first third of the tail is of the same colour 
as the body, that of the last two-thirds is cream-yellow at the root, and dirty 
umber-brown at and towards the point. Eyes, light brownish red ; muzzle, 
black ; hoofs, blackish brown ; horns, light blackish brown. 
Form, &c.— Figure nearly similar to that of Bubalus Caama. The head is 
lathei compiessed, posteriorly it is of considerable depth, anteriorly it is 
narrow and attenuated ; muzzle narrow and shaped somewhat like the letter 
V. Eyes large, and about an inch below the internal angle of each, there is 
a small bare spot, about four lines in diameter, with a narrow vertical fissure 
along its centre, from which exudes, upon pressure being applied, a thin 
glairy fluid. The chin and the upper and lower lips are sparingly sprinkled 
with rigid bristles. Ears ovate and pointed, their inner surface coated with 
long hair disposed in longitudinal bands. The horns are placed on the 
summit of the head, each upon a separate and slightly elevated peduncle ; 
they first extend outwards and slightly backwards, then outwards and upwards 
in a curve, and lastly, towards the points they form a curvature inwards : their 
appearance altogether is very similar to horns which are often seen upon 
oxen. The first half of each horn is encircled by a number of slightly raised 
rings ; the last half is quite smooth, and throughout the whole of their length 
they are nearly cylindrical. The neck is rather slender, and the hunch on 
the shoulder is arched and very prominent. The legs are rather slender, and 
the hoofs long and narrow. The outline of the back is waved, and strongly 
declivous towards the tail ; the latter, towards its base, is covered with short
