NEW SPECIES OF GORAL. 33 



with the grey goral N. gored. The three may be distinguished and 

 contrasted as follows : — 



a. A very small white patch at the upper end of 



the throat ; a large conspicuous white patch 

 on each side of the chest in front close to 

 the base of the legs ... ... ... haileyi. 



b. A large white or dirty white patch at 



upper end of throat ; patches on the chest 

 near forelegs not white and not sharply 

 differentiated from the adjacent area. 

 a\ Dark brown speckled with black, a dark 



spinal line, etc, ... ... ... ... liodgsoni. 



6\ Grey, speckled with black, no conspicuous 



dark spinal stripe ... ... ... gored. 



From the brief diagnosis contained in the table, I have omitted 

 the general coloration of N. hcdleyi which differs from that of N. 

 hodgsoni and of N. gored in being without the black speckling on the 

 hairs, the colour being remarkably uniformly brown. This may 

 prove to be a distinctive character but the coat is not in sufficiently 

 good condition to justify confidence on that point.
