echvardsii in colour except that the fronts of the cannon bones 

 appear to be black has been recorded by Mr. H. Shaw Dunn from 

 Kyonklongyi and other localities in the North Shan States of 

 Upper Burma where it lives mostly in evergreen forests at alti- 

 tudes of from 4,500 to 6,000 feet. (Field, Jan. 9th, 1909.) 



Sub-species : javirachi, Pocock. 



Capricornis sumairaensis jamrachi, Pocock, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1908, 

 p. 183, text fig. 34 (living animal). 



Prevailing colour coal black with the hairs basally white, upper 

 lip, chin and a stripe from the latter running backwards 

 along the lower jaw beneath white. Underside of body dirty 

 greyish- brown, flairs of the foreleg above the knee and of the 

 outer side of the thigh down to the hock mixed with brown and 

 black ; area of legs below knees and hocks rufous yellow exter- 

 nally, with the fetlocks and knees white and the inner side whit- 

 ish. The coat is shortish at all seasons of the year and has little 

 or no under fur. 



Distribution. — Kalimpong near Darjiling. 



Two specimens of this sub-species, both impoi"ted by Mr. Jamrach 

 from the above mentioned locality, have been seen by me. 

 One is a mounted example in the British Museum, the other is 

 living in the Zoological Society's Gardens. Col. Kinloch, how- 

 ever, shot a Serow near Darjiling, which according to Blanford 

 was intermediate between the species Blanford named huhalinus 

 and suinatraensis. Since these two are the same as those here 

 named thar and milne-edwardsii, between which jmnraclii occupies 

 a middle place, it is practically certain that Kinloch's specimen 

 belonged to the race now under discussion. 



The skull characters of this race are unknown. 



A special point of interest connected wifch this Serow is that an 

 example purchased when about six months old by the Zoological 

 Society of London in August 1906 has not changed appreciably in 

 colour or other characters down to the present time (Dec. 1912^, 

 when she is nearly seven years old. From this it may be inferred 

 that there is to all intents and purposes no seasonal colour change 

 in this race and that the young is like the adult.
