HIMALAYAN and BURMESE GORALS (Urotragus goral, etc.). 
Goral, W. Himalaya. Py, Par, Rat, Rom, Kashmiri. 
Sdhari, Sarr, Sutlej Tribes. 
The gorals are near relatives of the serows, from which they may be 
distinguished by their generally smaller size, shorter horns, and absence 
of face-glands, as well as by certain differences in the conformation of the 
skull. The horns curve regularly backwards, are conical in form, and 
marked by small irregular ridges for the greater part of their length. 
The hair is somewhat rough and shaggy, and the tail considerably 
longer than in the chamois. Height at shoulder from 26 to 28 inches ; 
weight from 58 to 63 Ibs. 
It has been proposed to transfer the name WVesorhedus to the 
gorals and to employ Capricornzs for the serows (p. 345); and also to 
apply the name goral to bedfordi, and designate the former hodgsonz. 
The following three gorals occur in the Indo-Burmese countries :— 
1. Uvrotragus goral—Colour rufous brown, with a white patch on 
the throat and chin, a black dorsal stripe and tail, and a black stripe 
down the front of each leg. Horns comparatively straight, and not 
heavily ringed. Eastern. Himalaya.
