Text Appearing Before Image:
ns of thefacial surface, which are before and behind the horns, form aconsiderable angle with each other. In this circumstance, and also in tbe position of the horns,it has some resemblance to the heads of the deer, sheep, andgoat, but I believe it did not belong to either of those genera. The horns are not of a deciduous nature like those of thegenus Cervus,b\A appear to consist of bone of the ordinary kind,like those of the ox, goat, sheep, or antelope. They differ alsofrom those of the sheep and goat, as they project from thelateral surface of the cranium like those of the genus Bos,and not from the upper surface like those of the above-men-tioned animals. They are also round and conical like thoseof the genus Bos, while the horns of sheep and goats aregenerally more or less angular. The occipital surface of this head (see fig. 11.) resemblesstrongly that of the bison (fig. 13.), the rough surface k fig.11, being produced by abrasion. Was not this animal nearly allied to the bison?
