S 251. Near Yen-an Fu, Shensi. Alt. 4000 ft. August 21st, 1909. 

 <J 254, 255, 256 (skulls and horns only). Yen-an Fu, Shensi. 



Specimen 149 was in winter pelage, and specimens 247 and 251 were 

 in summer pelage. The skulls were picked up by natives in the hills 

 near Yen-an Fu. 



These deer are very plentiful wherever sufficient cover exists, 

 whether it be in the low loess hills prevalent in North Shensi and Eastern 

 Kansu, or in the high rocky mountains elsewhere. 



This species is somewhat larger than the European forms, and 

 decidedly more yellow in colour. It is not so large as the Siberian form. 

 Roedeer horns, when in velvet, have a certain market value amongst the 

 Chinese as medicine for female complaints.

<f 180. Mountains near Liu-ts'un, 15 miles south of Hsi-an Fu, Shensi. 

 Alt. 4000 ft. March 7th, 1909. 



Essentially a topotype of the species. Resembles U. arnouxianiis, 

 Heude ; but the head and ears are lighter, and the throat patch appears 

 to be less extensive. 



The status of this animal, like that of other Chinese members of the 

 genus, is far from being clearly understood. 

 Dimensions measured in the flesh. — Head and body, 1160 mm. ; tail, 170 mm. ; 

 hind feet, 300 mm. ; ear, 150 mm. 



This goral inhabits the highest and most precipitous peaks of the 

 range south of Hsi-an Fu.

<? 252. 12 miles south of Yen-an Fu, Shensi. Alt. 4000 ft. August 

 22nd, 1909. 



A fine adult male in its peculiar summer pelt. I have examined P^re 

 David's specimen in the Natural History Museum, Paris. This specimen 

 seems to be a fully adult male, and as such is much smaller than the 

 present form. It is also considerably darker in colour, and has smaller 

 tusks. However, it has not been thought advisable to separate the two. 



Dimensions measured in the flesh. Head and body, 1555 mm. ; tail, 290 mm. ; 

 hind foot, 270 mm.; ear, 120 mm.
