SPORT AND SCIENCE ON THE 



in Kansu on this expedition was not pub- 

 lished in time to be embodied in the volume 

 already mentioned. This roe-deer was described 

 in the Proceedings of the Biological Society of 

 Washington, Vol. XXIV, pp. 231-232, by Mr. 

 Gerrit S. Miller, Jr., who says : " Resembling 

 Capreolus hedfordi in essential characters, including 

 the hypsodent form of the teeth, but colour of 

 summer pelage more reddish, and outer surface 

 of ear mostly clear black, in striking contrast with 

 surrounding parts." The type specimen was an 

 immature female collected thirty miles east of 

 Ching-yang Fu, Kansu, China. 



After the Clark Expedition, my wife and I made 

 collections in the T'ai-yiian Fu district, during 

 the months of October and November, 1909. De- 

 tails of these collections appear hereafter in this 

 chapter. 



Subsequently in the course of the journey made 

 by us up the Fen Ho, a most interesting collection 

 was made. This journey intersected that made 

 by Anderson and myself at Wu-tsai Hsien and 

 Ning-wu Fu, but it so happened that while my 

 wife and I made a large collection at Wu-tsai 

 Hsien, and secured nothing at Ning-wu Fu, the 

 very reverse was the case with Anderson and 

 myself. On the Wu-tsai plain the species col- 

 lected, with but few exceptions, were identical 

 with many of those already secured in and round 

 the Ordos.
