114 MAMMALIA. 



The Goral inhabits the Sub-Himalayas as far towards the snows 

 as the great forest extends, to which exclusively they adhere, 

 living in families of four or six. Breeding amid the crags and 

 rocky recesses : rutting in January : gestate six months : the 

 young born in May or June. 



Note. Antilope Nemorhaedus Duvaucellii, H. Smith, G.A.K. 

 iv. 277> v. 861 ; Antilope Sumatrensis /3 ? Duvaucellii, Fischer, 

 Syn. 639 was described from a drawing sent to Paris by M. 

 Duvaucel without any notes, as were most of his drawings. It 

 is only a badly coloured tracing of a drawing of the Goral in 

 General Hardwicke's Collection. It has no connection with C. 

 Sumatrensis, to which many naturalists have referred it. 



In the Bengal Journal, two Antelopes, said to resemble the 

 Goral, are mentioned as found in Affghanistan, one called Suja 

 and the other Goomast.
