MUSEUM NEWS NOTES. 
‘THROUGH the generosity of Hon. Mason Mitchell, American Consul 
at Chungking, China, the Museum has secured a small, but valuable, 
collection of mammals from the border of Tibet. Comparatively little 
is known of the zodlogy of this region, and the Mitchell collection con- 
tains several forms which are apparently new to scientists. ‘Two skins 
of the Takin (Budoscas taxicolor), an extremely rare antelope, are of 
particular interest. Mr. Mitchell is probably the first white man to kill 
this animal, of which no mounted specimens exist in the museums of 
Europe or America. 
THREE Tibetan scrolls were among the material presented to the 
Museum by Mr. Mitchell. In a letter regarding them, dated Chung- 
king, China, July 16, 1907, Mr. Mitchell says:— ‘The scrolls are very 
rare and seldom to be secured, as the Lamas will not sell them; they are 
too sacred. In the summer of 1906, the Yellow Lamas killed four 
French priests. ‘The soldiers sent against them put the Lamas to flight 
and looted the temple. ‘These scrolls were later obtained from the 
soldiers.” 
SEVERAL interesting specimens from the Sakai, the aborigines of the 
Malay Peninsula, have been presented by Mr. Caspar Whitney, of this
