Two males were subsequently brought to Paris by MM. Quoy and
Gaimard, one of which was exchanged in 1845 with the Earl of Derby for
an eland. It lived but a short period at Knowsley. In 1863 the Zoological
Gardens at Rotterdam received a male anoa ; and from that date there has
been a continuous succession of these rare and interesting little bovines
at that establishment. Between 1863 and 1889 the Rotterdam Gardens
have possessed no less than eighteen examples, of which ten were bulls and
eight cows, three having been born in the Gardens. From Rotterdam the
London Zoological Gardens purchased a young male in 18 7 1, and they
acquired by exchange a female in 1880. Specimens have been exhibited
in other public menageries, and at the present time there is a pair living
at Woburn Abbey.

C/2«rflrferrB-Nearly allied to the next species, but the horn-cores rising
from a more prominent frontal ridge, sloping more away from the plane of
the forehead, and their proper front surface directed more towards the
frontal aspect, being thus more like the tamarau. In the typical form the
horn-cores are markedly triangular, but in the specimens described under
the name of occipitalis the front outer angle is rounded off, so as to give
a pyriform section, and the tips are curved forwards. By the late Professor
Rutimeyer these two variations were not considered worthy of specific
separation, the second being distinguished as the trochoceros form.
Distribution.—Northern India during the Pliocene period.
