236 THE KVLOEj'OR HIGHLAND CATTLE. 
Major Smith places his subgenus Taurus, -which 
we have been now examining, last in the series of 
Bovine Animals. We have treated of it first, as con- 
taining the animals of most importance, not as dis- 
agreeing with the system of that accomplished zoo- 
logist, who has had much more extensive opportuni- 
ties of investigating the Euminant Animals than we 
are likely for a long time to enjoy. We now come 
to his subgenus Bubalus, which contains animals from 
both India and Africa. His characters are, “ Ani- 
mals low in proportion to their bulk ; limbs very so- 
lid ; head large, forehead narrow, very strong, con- 
vex ; choppers straight ; muzzle square ; horns lying 
flat, or bending laterally with a certain direction to 
the rear ; eyes large ; ears mostly funnel-shaped ; no 
hunch, a small dewlap ; female, under with four 
mamrase ; tail long, slender.” * 
The first species to be noticed is
