This very beautiful and active-looking animal is 
found on the jungles bordering the woods of Northern 
India, and from all our accounts, seems to increase in 
number as we approach the confines of Persia. Our 
first accurate information regarding it, is acknow- 
ledged by all to be due to Lord Clive, who intro- 
duced a pair to this country in 1767, which bred 
regularly, and were tame and gentle. Another pair 
were soon after described in detail by Dr W. Hun- 
ler, the brother of the distinguished anatomist and 
naturalist, whose memoir precedes the descriptive 
portion of this volume. 
The specimen which served for the accompanying 
illustration, with a female, forms a part of the Edin- 
Blue or Grey Bull.
