The skull also presents some differences from the skull of a spe- 

 cimen sent by Hodgson from Nepal (toxt-fig. 30). In the lattei-, 

 which measures 241 mm. in length from the occipital suture to 

 the premaxillfe, the series of upper cheek-teeth measures 87 mm., 

 the last molar being 20 mm. long and 16 wide ; the width of the 

 palate between the last molars is 52 and between the first 

 premolars 38. Whereas in the skull of the specimen from 

 Chamba, whicli measures, as above, 223 mm., the upper cheek- 

 teeth are 93, the last molar 20 X 12, and the two palatal breadths 

 are 57 and 38. Thus in the specimen from Chamba the tooth- 

 series is longer, the last molar much narrower as compared with 

 its length, and the palate posteriorly broader. The skull is also 

 higher and has the facial pit less deep. Be it noted, however, 

 that it belonged to a younger animal. 



The type of G. s. rodoni is the above described specimen, which 

 is now in the British Museum.

Abstr. P. Z. S. No. 55, p. 12, March 17, 1908. 



General colour of head and body coal-black, the hairs being- 

 white at the base and black distally, without any i-ufous-brown 

 tinge in the black terminal portion. On the upjier lip behind 

 the white antei-ior portion there is a patch of brown, and hairs of 

 a similar brownish-yellow colour surrovmd the base of the ear and 

 extend up the back of that organ. The white patch on the chin 

 extends back on each side of the jaw halfway towards its angle, 

 bu.t there is scarcely any white hair on the throat. The chest also 

 is blackish, and the hairs forming the whorls on the front of the 

 chest near the base of the legs are black, with red basal portion. 

 The belly is a dirty grey-brown. The shoulders are black, but 

 on the fore leg between the elbow and knee, the hairs are a 

 mixture of black anrl rufous brown, both on the outside and the 

 inside of the limb. The knee itself is white like the fetlocks and 

 pasterns, but the area between the fetlock and the knee (the 

 cannon-bone) is strongly tinged with fawn or rusty yellow. 

 Along a line running from the tail to the stifle, the black of the 

 hind-quarters passes into the rusty -brown colour which pervades 

 the outside and inside of the hind legs. Inferior! y this rusty 

 brown pales to yellowish brown, the fetlocks being white. 

 Except on the fetlocks, knees, inside of ears, upper lip, and chin, 

 there is no white on the animal. 



The coat is short at all seasons of the year, and not shaggy, 

 and there is practically no underfur. 



Loc. Kalimpong, near Darjiling. 



A young female specimen of this Serow was purchased by the 

 Society from Mr. W. Jamrach in August 1906. It was then, I- 

 should judge, about six months old, and it is important to record 

 that up to the present time (that is to say, during the sixteen 

 months that the animal has been under observation) she has not
