112 MAMMALIA. 



The Thar or Suraw inhabits the sub-Himalaya as far north as 

 the forest extends. They are not gregarious, and they rush with 

 fearful precipitancy down the steep mountain. They rut in Fe- 

 bruary or March, gestate eight months, and have one young in 

 September or October. They always have a gall-bladder. Hodg- 

 son, Journ. Asiat. Soc. 1835, Sept. 



The Gorals and Thars differ from the Antelope in being stout, 

 clambering animals, but they are not, as some have supposed, 

 allied to the Bovines. Hodgson.

Mr. Turner observes, "Although the 'tear-bag' is said to 

 be wanting in the Goral, there is certainly a slight depression 

 upon the lacrymal bone,, and the pore with which the gland opens 

 may be so small in this species as to escape detection in dried 

 specimens." Turner.
