Gapricornis sumatraensis, Pocock, Proc. Zool. Soc, 1908, p. 176. 



Prevailing colour black, with a thick grey mane on the neck 

 and withers. Areas of the legs below the knees and hocks black 

 turning brown only on the fetlocks. 



Distribution. — Sumatra. 



Although this race of Serows occurs geographically outside the 

 localities indicated by the title of this paper, I have thought it 

 wise to include a brief description of it, with full synonomy, on 

 account of the erroneous conception of its characters convej^ed by 

 most of the literature dealing with Indian and Burmese Serows. 



There is very little material available for description ; but 

 judging from the skin of a young specimen ticketed Sumatra in 

 the British Museum (Raffles), the animal has a considerable quan- 

 tity of brown on the face between the eyes and nose ; but the fore- 

 head and cheeks are black. The upper lip is whitish, there is a 

 whitish area extending from the lower lip along the edge of the 

 jaw on each side and a dirty grey patch on the throat. Ears 

 brown at the back, noticeabl}^ paler than the black of the neck. 

 The occipital crest is almost all black, but the mane becomes pro- 

 gressively greyer posteriori}- and forms a large greyish crest on 

 the withers. The general colour of the body is black intermixed 

 with brown and there is no white or dirty white in the chest, 

 belly or inside of the legs. The legs are blackish brown, the fet- 

 locks being rather browner than the upper parts, but there is no 

 abrupt change of colours at the knees and hocks. 



Subspecies rohinsoni, Pocock. 



Gapricornis sumatraensis rohinsoni, Pocock, Proc. Zool. Soc, 

 1908, p. 185, text fig. 35, (living animal), 36 (skull). 



Closely related to the typical Sumatran race, but differing appa- 

 rently in that the mane is crest-like instead of mat- like and com- 

 posed of a mixture of black and white hairs. 



Distribution. — Selangor and ? Perak in the Malay Peninsula. 



This race of Serows was based upon the skin and skull of an 

 example presented to the Zoological Society by the Government
