paler than in the first and darker th an in the second, and the 

 throat patch yellower than in either. Again in one of two 

 examples from Szechuen the feet are fawn, in the other the}^ are 

 nearlj^ white. They were shot in January and the colour of the 

 coat is like that of the example shot in December in Ichang. 

 Since the type of N. henryanus came from Ichang, there is very 

 little doubt that it was identical with the above mentioned 

 examples from that locality in the British Museiim. 



Now as to the form from Arakan described by Mr. Lydekker as 

 Urotragns evansi. In the summer of 1903 Mrs. Mumford sent me 

 for identification the incomplete skins of some Gorals shot by the 

 late Mr. G. E. Mumford at Kyauk-pin-daung in the Arakan Hills. 

 (see supra p. 307). These I was unable to distinguish specifically 

 from the above mentioned skins in the British Museum from 

 ISzechuen and Ichang and I consequently identified the Arakan 

 Goral as Ncemorheckos griseus. The late Col. Bingham to whom I 

 showed them told me he had long been aware of the existence of 

 Goral in Burma, but supposed them to be identical with the 

 Himalayan animal. 



Two years later Major Evans broiight the skins and skulls of 

 two young specimens from Mt. Victoria in the Pokokku district 

 of Arakan. These fell into the hands of Mr. Lydekker, who 

 noting certain differences between them and Nepalese Goral and 

 overlooking the likelihood of their resembling Goral from 

 Southern China, described them as a new species which was 

 dedicated to Major Evans, I cannot distinguish these skins 

 specially from those from Ichang and Szechuen and even if the 

 latter are wrongly referred to N. griseus, the name henryanus must 

 be adopted for them in preference to evansi. 



The existence of a Goral in the Naga Hills, Upper Assam, was ■ 

 recorded by Capt. Butler (Journ., As. Soc, Bengal, XLIV, pi. 1, 

 p. 332). The characters of this Goral are iinknown to me; but 

 since the Naga Hills are separated from the Himalayas by the 

 Valley of the Brahmaputra, it is probable that this Goral will 

 prove to be identical with N. griseus. 



According to Major Evans who has given an interesting account 

 of the distribution and habits of Gorals in Arakan and the 

 neighbouring districts, the animal occurs at an elevation of 3,500 

 feet in the Chin-Luchai Hills and extends, he believes, on to the 

 Siamese side of the Thaungyin Eiver and about the hills at the 

 headquarters of the Me-Ping. Their habits appear to be exactly 

 the same as those of the Himalayan species. They live in small 

 flocks numbering from four to about a dozen and frequent steep 

 precipitous ground, which combined with their keenness of 

 vision, makes them exceedingly difficult to approach except by 

 expert cragsmen. The}^ feed in the early morning and evening
