GAYAL  , a domesticated ox allied to the

Gaur, but distinguished, among other features, by the more conical and straighter horns, and the straight line between them . Gayal are kept by the natives of the hill-districts of Assam and parts of Tenasserim and Upper Burma . Although it has received a distinct name, Bos (Bibos) frontalis, there can be little doubt that the gayal is merely a domesticated breed of the gaur, many gayal-skulls showing characters approximating to those of the gaur .
