came upon the serow lying half within 

 the water. How it had been possible 

 for the animal to fall from the over- 

 hanging cliff without landing far out 

 in the river, I cannot imagine. My 

 pleasure was doiibled when I found 

 that it was coal-black, and of a totally 

 different species from those we had ob- 

 tained on the Snow Mountain. It is, 

 of course, impossible to say whether 

 it will prove to be new to science 

 until it has been carefully studied, but 

 it is an extraordinarily rare animal 

 even in that region, and none have been 

 taken from localities within many miles 

 of where this specimen was killed. Se- 

 curing this serow was one of the for- 

 tunate occurrences which sometimes 

 happen to a sportsman, but one might 

 "■still hunt" for even months without 

 being able to get another in the same way. 

 Besides goral and serow, the Snow 

 ^Mountain yielded us the blue, or crested, 

 muntjac, the rarest specimen which we 

 obtained u])()n tlie entire expedition. 

 These beautiful little deer have a dark 

 slate-blue coat and a rather bushy 

 tail, white beneath, which, when the 

 animal is running, is displayed 

 as prominently as the "flag" of 

 the Virginia deer. The first 

 time 1 ever saw one of these 

 splendid animals was when 

 Hotenfa and I were bringing in 

 two gorals which we had killed 

 during the day. The big red 

 dog, although dead tired, had 

 disappeared alone into the 

 heavy forest below us. Sud- 

 denly we heard his deep bay 

 coming up the hill in our direc- 

 tion. Hotenfa and I dropped 



The two little Tibetan bear cubs, pur- 

 "liased from a native at Teng-yueh, are 

 playing about the motion picture camera. 

 One of the cubs died when about six 

 weeks old, but the other was brought to 

 N'ew York. In the lower picture Mrs. 

 Andrews may be seen feeding condensed 

 milk to one of these cubs when it was 

 (inly ten or twelve days old
