1ms scarcely any ol’ the soft woolly hair which covers other parts of the 
body, and approaches nearer to hair than to wool. 
A winter killed specimen. 
From the neck, around the shoulder and sides, the body is covered wfth 
a dense heavy coat of woolly hair, with much longer and coarser hairs in- 
termixed. There is a ftc.shy membrane between the forelegs, like that in 
the common domestic bull, but not so pendulous. 
^rTnu and colour the female bears a strong resemblance to the male ; 
she is, however, considerably smaller, and of a more delicate structure. 
Her horns are of the same length and shape as those oi the male, but are 
thinner and more perfect, in consequence of the cows engaging less in 
combat than the bulls. The hump is less elevated ; the hair on the foie- 
head shorter and less bushy ; the rings on the horns are more corrugated 
than on those of our domestic cattle. 
Spinous processes rising from the back bone or vertebrm of the bu 1, and 
forming the hump : they are fiat, with sharp edges both anteriorly and 
posteriorly; the two longest are eighteen and a quarter inches long, 
L-ee inches at the end which is the widest, and two inches at the 
narrowest; the first, fifteen inches ; second, (largest,) eighteen 
,e" inches in length ; third, sixteen and a half; fourth, sixteen ; the fifth, fif- 
and the rest gradually diminishing in size the fifteenth sjnno^ 
process being three and a half inches long; the remainder are wantin in 
our specimen. The whole of the processes are placed almost touching 
each other at the insertion and at the end, and their breadtft is parallel to 
the course of the back-bone. In the centre or about half the distance fro 
ft^e insertion to the outer end of them, they are (the bone being narrower 
in that part) from a quarter to one inch apart. The ribs originate an in 
Cline outward backward and downward from between these upright 
spinous bones.
