hair on the fore- part of the hind thighs is long. The male is very 

 remarkable by having the scrotum externally separated into two 

 distinct bags. The length from the nose to the horns is nine inches,

" The female wants the long hair on the spine and thighs, and the 

 dewlap. She is distinguished from the common Indian she-goat by the 

 length of her legs, and the want of a beard ; and from the Maycay of 

 Mysore by the shortness of her ears. From the nose to the root of the 

 horns is seven and a half inches ; from the horns to the rump is three 

 feet three inches. The height at the shoulder is two feet. The cir- 

 cumference of the chest is two feet four inches. Both sexes are of a 

 fine white colour, variegated with black and reddish-brown. Their 

 manners entirely resemble those of the long-legged goat of the south of 

 India." (Dr. F. (Buchanan) Hamilton's MS.)
