It is large, slender, yet vigorous, long-legged and rather long-tailed and the hump is well developed. The horns are very strong, and differ materially from those of most European species; they are fully forty inches long, stand rather close together at their bases and curve first outward, then straight upward, in the last third inward, , and the tips again turn outward. The hair is straight and fine and the general color is chestnut brown. Th'e Zebu {Bos indtcus) must be regarded as closely allied to the Sanga, though it markedly differs from it and also is divided into a series of sub-breeds. It definitely settle the problem. According to Ruti- meyer three different species of wild Oxen took part in the production of the forty or fifty breeds of domestic Cattle now existing and classified in Europe and America; first the Bos primo^enius, which probably belonged to the same species as the Urus or Aurochs described by ancient authors; second the Bos longifrons and the Bos frontosus, the remains of which have been found in different parts of Europe. Rutimeyer gives it as his opinion that direct lineal descendants of the Bos primogenius, although much degenerated, still live in a.half wildstate.in some of the larger forests of the north of England and Scot- land. An animal the description of which is very similar to that of the Park Ox, existed in Wales as early as the tenth century. Four hundred head of white Cattle with red ears were sent to King John, .
