ART. 1 MAMMALS FROM CHINA — HOWELL 79 



OVIS AMMON KOZLOVI Nasonov 



Ovis koslovi Nasonov, Bull. Acad. Imp. Sci. St. Petersb., 1913, p. G21 (Jabarai 

 Mts., southern Gobi, Mongolia). 



/Speciviens. — Five from Kiieihuacheng, Sliansi. 



This race seems to be tenable, based chiefly on the dingy hue, rather 

 than a pure white, of the rump patch. The summer pelage is un- 

 usually rusty. 



Genus PSEUDOIS Hodgson 



PSEUDOIS NAYAUR CAESIA A. B. Howell 



Pseudois nayaur caesia A. B. Howfxl, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., vol. 41, 1928, 

 p. 118 (Archuen, Miushan Range, Kansu, China). 



Specimens. — Archuen, 1 (the type), and Ninghsia, Kansu, 4; and 

 157 miles west-northwest of Paotowchen, Inner Mongolia, 3. 



It was only to be expected that the bharal of Kansu would prove 

 to be a separable race. 



Genus CAPRICORNIS Ogilby 



CAPRICORNIS MILNE-EDWARDSI David 



Capricornis milne-edwardsl Danid, Arch. Mas. Paris, vol. 5, 1869, p. 10 (Mu- 

 ping, Szechwan, China). 



Specimens. — Three: Tibetan border of Kansu, 2; and Washan, 

 Szechwan, 1. 



In the light of present knowledge it seems that all three of these 

 specimens of serows must be listed under this name. The presence 

 or absence of a black stripe upon the foreleg evidently means but 

 little, for one Kansu individual has it and the other has not. The 

 liairs of the rump of the Washan skin are tipped with black, a char- 

 acter which the others lack. It seems that the white hairs of the 

 mane, which is not extensive in these pelts, are coarser and more 

 brittle than the remainder of the pelage and that the tips are prone 

 to breakage ; hence the presence or absence of a mane is largely sea- 

 sonal. 



Genus NAEMORHEDUS H. Smith 



NAEMORHEDUS CAUDATUS (Milne-Edwards) 



[Antilope] caudafa Milne-Edwards, Ann. Sci. Nat., ser. 5, vol. 7, 1867, p. 377 

 {Based on: — Antilope crispa Radde, 1862, Reisen im Siiden von Ost-Sibirien, 

 Tol. 1, Die Siiugethierfauna, St. Petersburg, p. 263; Amur]. 



Naemorhedus caiidatiis Milne-Edw^vrds, Rech. Mamm., 1874, p. 361 (Mon- 

 golia). 



Specimens. — Three : Kueihuacheng, Shansi, 1 ; Liutsuen, Shensi, 1 ; 

 and Wenchwen, Szechwan, 1.
