The cattle are a somewhat southerly tyjie; their formerly wide northern distribution has been greatly restricted, and for the theory that they are of Oriental origin there does not api>ear to be any real evidence. The remaining Bovid subfamilies, usually grouped under the term "antelopes," are to a varying extent primitive and aberrant. The Ilolarctic groups are nearer to the slieep and goats and the more primitive groups are limited to the Ethiopian region and the East Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original New York Academy of Sciences; Casey, Thos.
