This Serow closely resembles the typical Sumatran form of 

 the species, C. s. sumatraensis, in the black colouring of the lower 

 half of the legs. So far, indeed, as I can judge, it differs from 

 the latter only in having the mane less grey and less copious 

 and thick on the withers. As might be expected from its distri- 

 bution, it is almost intermediate between the Sumatran race and 

 the one from the Larut Hills in Perak, C. s. swettenhami Butler*. 

 Of the latter I have only seen one flat skin, ticketed Biserat 



* P. Z. S. 1900, p. 675. Mr. Butler, misled by Blanford, separated this form 

 from G. s. sumatraensis because of the blackness of the lower legs, which Blanford 

 erroneously described as rufous in C. s. sumatraensis. See also S. S. Flower, 

 P.Z.S. 1900, p. 371.
