1 1 8 Oxen
In the flattened forehead, as well as in the position and setting-on of
the horn-cores, this species makes a decided approach to the anoa and its
extinct allies, which it thus serves to connect with the Indian buffalo.
Distribution.—India during the Pliocene period. The known remains
occur in the Siwalik Hills, extending from the Simla district to the
Punjab, but the species probably had a wider range than these limits.
