I. Introduction. 



Serows and G orals, which, as I have recently shown t, must be 

 known scientifically as Capricornis and JSfcemorhedus, and not as 

 Ncemorjiedus and Urotragus or Kemas respectively, are very rare 

 animals in captivity. Within the last four years, however, the 

 Zoological Society has had the good fortune to exhibit no fewer 

 than two well-marked species or subspecies of each of these 

 genera J. The necessity for determining these animals correctly 

 involved the looking vip of a good deal of the literature, especially 

 the older literature, of the subject ; and this brought to light a 

 wholly unexpected amount of confusion in nomenclature, both 

 generic and specific, and not a few mistakes and misconceptions 

 as to specific characters in recent catalogues and treatises on these 

 ruminants. 



The specimens of the two kinds of Sevow (Capricornis) exhibited
