Note 104
Without losing myself in a labyrinth of
species and names - the aurochs, urus, bisons, bubalus,
bonasus, buffalo, &c., (Buffon. Hist. Nat. tom. xi., and
Supplement, tom. iii. vi.,) it is certain, that in the sixth
century a large wild species of horned cattle was hunted in
the great forests of the Vosges in Lorraine, and the
Ardennes, (Greg. Turon. tom. ii. l. x. c. 10, p. 369.)]
