and the black sometimes with a white nape, or the hairs of the nape 
may be white at the base only.” Lieut. Bevan described one (‘ P. Z. S.’ 
1866) shot on the Zwagaben mountain, near Moulmein, as being of a 
mingled black and ferruginous colour.

The Thibetan Capricorn. 
Hasirat.—Thibet. 
DescripTion.—This differs from the Indian JV. bubalina by the 
uniform blackish brown of the upper parts tending to ferruginous on 
the thighs, and the red colour in place of the grey on the lower parts 
of the legs. 
It was discovered by the Abbé David, who named it after the well- 
known Professor A. Milne-Edwards. 
No. 454. NEMORH@DUS GORAL. 
The Small Himalayan Capricorn ( Jerdon’s No. 231). 
Native NaMes.—Gora/, Pahari; Piyur, Kashmiri (/erdon) ; Rein or 
Rom, Kashmiri (Kinloch) ; Sah or Sarr, in the Sutlej valley ; Swh-ging, 
Lepcha; fa-gzyw, Bhotia. 
Hapirat.—The whole range of the Himalayas from Bhotan to 
Kashmir. 
DEscRiIPTION.—Dull brownish-grey above, with a dark mesial lme, 
paler below; a large white spot under the throat; chest and front of 
fore-legs dark brown ; female paler. The general appearance is that of 
a high, or arched-backed goat. The females and young are lighter 
coloured ; the horns spring from the crest of the frontals and incline 
backward, and are slightly curved and very sharp pointed, ringed at the 
base, and smooth for the apical half or third; some have more rings 
than others. Jerdon says from twenty to twenty-five rings, but a 
specimen from Bhutan, which I have before me as I write (a female, 
I think) has but ten annuli, or little more than one-third ringed.

Thibet ’ :—

assemble in large flocks, but are usually scattered about the hills, three 
or four being occasionally found close together, but more commonly 
they feed alone or in pairs. They are to be found in all sorts of ground, 
from bare crags to thick undulating forests, but their favourite resorts 
are steep rocky hills, thinly sprinkled with forest, especially where it
