1900.] MAMMALS OF SIAM AND THE MALAY PENINSULA. 371 



Kuala Kangsar, Perak, and a complete skeleton and two pairs of 

 horns, all, I understand, from Perak. In the Museum at Kuala 

 Lumpor there are several frontlets and horns, without locality. 



Mr. A. L. Butler told me he saw a Goat-Antelope in March 

 1898 near " the Cottage " in the Larut Hills, Perak, at an 

 elevation of about 4000 feet ; and in a letter, dated 14th March, 

 1899, mentions Sir Frank Swettenham as having shot one in the 

 Perak Hills. This is the first instance, to my knowledge, of one of 

 these animals being shot by a European sportsman in the Peninsula, 

 though many have tried. Tn another letter, dated 5th November, 

 1899, Mr. Butler tells me he has examined three specimens, and 

 says " the Nemorhcedus of the Peninsula is not JY. sumatrengi&.h&xing 

 legs black instead of rufous." 



The Siamese Museum possesses a stuffed female from the Laos 

 country, each horn 7*8 inches (198 mm.) in length, and a frontlet 

 without locality, each horn 7*4 inches in length. A frontlet from 

 the hills between Baheng (Siam) and Burma was shown me by 

 Mr. J. Harper : length of horns 7*75 inches, circumference of horns 

 at base 5*25 inches ; a horn in my possession from Perak is 

 6 - 15 inches in length, and 4*5 inches in circumference at base. 



In July 1898, a live goat of this species was exhibited in 

 Bangkok, but I was unable to find out where it had been caught ; 

 it was a very handsome animal, nearly black in colour. 



Distribution. Eastern Himalayas, Moupin, Yunnan, Assam, 

 Burma, Siam, Malay Peninsula, Sumatra.

" Kijaug," " Kidjang " " Kidang," or of the Malays. 



Recorded from Kuala Tahan, Pahang, by Bidley (J. S. B. B. A. S. 

 no. 25 1894, p. 60), who (Nat. Science, vi. 1895, p. 161) says : — 

 " The Kijang does not occur now in Singapore, if it ever did. It 

 is abundant in many places, such as the slopes of Mount Ophir, 

 and is often shot by planters and others in and about the coffee 

 plantations." This species is kept in the Singapore Botanical 

 Gardens, where it breeds. 



There are specimens from Upper Perak in the Museum at 

 Taiping, and from Selangor in the Museum at Kuala Lumpor. 



Hanitsch (Bep. Baffles Libr. & Mus. 1898, p. 7) mentions a 

 young C. muntjac, 24 hours old, " showing clearly the white 

 longitudinal striations, which soon disappear in older animals." 



The Kijang occurs in Siam. There is a pair of antlers in the 

 Siamese Museum, presumably local, the length from burr to tip 

 is 4-25 inches ; and Mr. N. Kelly Passmore gave me the skull of 

 one which had been shot by his overseer near Muok Lek, about
