SUMATRAN SEROW 345 



SUMATRAN SEROW (Nemorhaedus sumatrensis). 



A large and clumsily built ruminant, with the ears long, the hair 

 coarse, rather thin, and elongated into a crest from the nape to the 

 withers ; the under fur found in the gorals being absent. The general 

 colour of the upper parts is black or dark grey, with a grizzled appear- 

 ance, owing to the whitish bases of the hairs ; the under parts, 

 shoulders, and thighs being rusty red. Although by no means large, 

 the shining black, somewhat rugose horns form decidedly handsome 

 trophies. Height at shoulder about 34^ inches. 



Distribution. From Sumatra, Yunnan, and Moupin in Tibet to the 

 Eastern Himalaya, occurring throughout the Assam Hills, Burma, 

 Siam, and the elevated tracts of the Malay Peninsula.
