The University of Wisconsin Press. 1968.

A detailed study by a cultural geographer of the mithan (Bos frontalis), a domesticated bovine animal that is not milked. "Mithan country proper" includes the lower Eastern Himalayas and the mountains running southward between India and Burma. The tribal, animist, hill people who occupy the area are shifting cultivators and the mithan, one of the gentlest of animals, is among their most prized possessions: a measure of wealth and status, a sacrificial animal of greatest importance, and a source of meat.
