this gv&Y goral into Nepal is furnished b}^ a skin shot by Maha- 

 rajah Dhuleep Singh and now preserved in the British Museum, 

 This skin has an important bearing on Hardwicke's statement that 

 the grey goral he described as AntiloiJe goral came from Nepal. 



I may add that Major Rodon was strongly of opinion that both 

 the ' grey ' and ' brown ' Gorals occur at Chamba and to convince 

 me of this he forwarded to me the series of specimens above 

 mentioned, which were shot by the Rajah. Clearly, however, 

 these all belong to the ' grey ' type. 



A living male example of this species was presented as a young- 

 animal to the London Zoological Society in 1904 by Major G. S. 

 Rodon and is still living. It is important to record that this 

 specimen has not changed appreciably in colour during its eight 

 years' sojourn is England. It has shown no tendency whatever 

 to assume the brown coloration of the species next described.
