196 MR. R. I. POCOCK ON [Mar. 17, 



browner, with the hair less noticeably speckled than in the type, 

 and the throat-patch and interramal area are white, the latter 

 being a dirtier white than the former. The horns are 3| inches 

 long (90 mm.), with a basal diameter of | of an inch (20 mm.). 

 A second example is evidently young ; the fur is softer and 

 thicker and also less speckled than in the first, and the face is 

 less richly coloured and somewhat greyer. The third specimen, 

 a young and hornless individual, while presenting the same 

 general type of coloration as the others, difters from them in that 

 the black spinal stripe fades away on the lumbar region and the 

 tail is not black above. Hodgson's remax'k that the young is 

 redder than the adult and destitute of mantle and mane is worth 

 repeating. 



A young example of this species from Nepal was presented to 

 the Society by the Prince of Wales in June 1906, but died a few 

 days after arrival.

General colour of the shaggy winter coat greyish yellow-brown, 

 darker along the spinal area. 



Upper surface of head blackish from the muzzle back to the 

 occiput ; sides of the head and of the lips greyish yellow mixed 

 with black ; rest of lips white ; chin black. Throat with a large 

 white gular patch. Ears white inside ; pale mouse-grey, darker at 

 the base, with bi'own edging externally. On the nape of the neck 

 the hairs form a short blackish mane. On the lumbo-sacral area 

 the dark spinal stripe is fainter than it is anteriorly. On the 

 shoulder there is an ill-defined scapular stripe, which inferiorly 

 turns into a jet-black stripe running down to the knee and thence 

 over it externally nearly to the fetlock. On the inner side of the 

 cannon-bone this is set off by a yellowish-grey stripe, which is 

 continuous inferiorly with the yellowish-grey hue involving the 

 front and sides of the fetlock and pastern ; the posterior surface 

 of the leg is brown, turning to black on the back of the fetlock. 

 The hind leg is chocolate-brown from the hock to the fetlock, 

 brownish in front, and paler yellow-brown at the sides, the pastern 

 being ci-eamy yellow anteriorly and laterally, like that of the fore 

 leg. The breast and anterior part of the belly are blackish, but 

 the groin, the inside of the thighs, and the back of the thighs up 

 to the root of the tail are white. The tail is brown above and 

 white below ; the extremity of the tail is furnished with a mixture 

 of long black and white hairs which extend below the hocks. 

 The skin of the tail on its under side is about 4| inches (112 mm.), 

 and the total length of the organ to the tip of the hair is about 

 15 inches (375 mm.).
