The
Auer
or
Ure
ox
or
European
Bison,
(bos
urus,
bonasus,
bison,)
is
one
of
the
largest
oxen,
and
distinguished
by
a
curly
manelike
product
about
the
head
and
neck,
by
a
very
broad,
arched
forehead,
and
by
moderate
horns
situated
far
apart,
and
being
curved
inward
and
upward
in
the
shape
of
a
crescent.[…]Some
extracts
from
his
work
are
here
presented,
because
the
opinion
hitherto
prevailing
in
certain
circles
that
our
common
cattle
were
the
offspring
of
the
Ure;
but
according
to
these
extracts
it
will
be
seen
that
several
striking
anatomical
differences
are
found
to
exist
between
the
Ure
and
our
common
cattle.[…]The
Ure
has
fourteen
vertebræ,
and
as
many
pairs
of
ribs,
or
one
pair
more
than
common
cattle,
but
has
only
five
lumbar
vertebræ
of
which
the
common
cattle
have
six.[…]In
the
old
Ure,
there
was
found
in
the
midst
of
the
two
seminal
passages,
vessels,
a
single
duct,
shaped
somewhat
like
a
bag,
one
inch
in
diameter
and
four
and
a
half
inches
in
length,
which
is
divided
in
front
and
at
the
top
into
two
arching
branches,
like
the
horns
of
the
uterus
of
the
cow,
extending
as
channels
of
3
to
4
inches
in
width
to
the
testicle,
and
there
terminating
in
a
cul-de-sac.[…]From
the
above
it
appears
that
the
origin
of
the
domesticated
cattle
and
their
original
native
country
is,
as
yet,
not
fully
ascertained.
Formerly
the
ure
was
considered
the
parent
of
the
same,
but
this
is
improbable
on
account
of
the
anatomical
differences
between
the
ure
and
the
common
cattle.
