[Lieutenant Samuel Turner gave a very good description of the Yak of
Tartary, which he calls _Soora-Goy_ or the Bushy-tailed Bull of Tibet.
(_Asiat. Researches_, No. XXIII, pp. 351-353, with a plate.) He says with
regard to the colour: 'There is a great variety of colours amongst them,
but black or white are the most prevalent. It is not uncommon to see the
long hair upon the ridge of the back, the tail, tuft upon the chest, and
the legs below the knee white, when all the rest of the animal is jet
black.' A good drawing of 'an enormous' Yak is to be found on p. 183 of
Captain Wellby"s _Unknown Tibet_. (See also Captain Deasy"s work on
_Tibet_, p. 363.) Prince Henri d"Orlans brought home a fine specimen,
which he shot during his journey with Bonvalot; it is now exhibited in the
galleries of the Musum d"Histoire Naturelle. Some Yaks were brought to
Paris on the 1st April, 1854, and the celebrated artist, Mme. Rosa
Bonheur, made sketches after them. (See _Jour. Soc. Acclimatation_, June,
1900, 39-40.)--H. C.]
