Grey Himalayan Goral. 



In employing Nemorhcedus for the gorals instead of the 

 serows, the writer has followed Pocock, although he considers 

 such a change much to be deprecated, especially as in 

 Hamilton Smith's original description the name JV. suma- 

 trensis stands first. As regards the spelling of the name, 

 Ncemorhcdus is etymologically wrong, as the word is derived 

 from nemics (gen. nemoris), a wood, and hcvdits, a young goat, 

 and it may be taken as a misprint, especially since Hamilton 

 Smith himself seems to have been uncertain on this point, 

 writing on p. 277 of vol. iv. of the "Animal Kingdom" 

 Ncemorhai'dine Group, while in the fifth volume he employed 

 Ncemorlhcdus. In the " Naturalist's Library " Jardine used 

 JS^ccmorhcedus. 



Typical locality Himalaya.

 greyish fawn, more or less suffused with black ; dorsal stripe
