11)10.] CUTANEOUS SCENT-GLANDS OF HUMINANTS. 855 



bent sharply backwards aiid ujjwards on itself, the terminal portion 

 which, roughly speaking, ran parallel with the integument of the 

 back of the pastern, being subecpial in length to the portion 

 running parallel to the interungual web. The gland was lined 

 with hairs and charged with secretion. Its structure was pi-acti- 

 cally the same on both front and hind feet. 



There were two pairs of teats, but no ti-ace of inguinal glands 

 could be detected. 



(ienus Capricornis Ogilby, 



Capkicornis tuar Hodgs. 

 (The Nepalese Serow.) 



Acconling to Owen this species possesses preorbital glands, but 

 is without inguinal glands. Ogilby, however, asserts that it has 

 inguinal glands and pedal glands and four iuamma\ 



In the example of the Darjiling race (C thar jamracJii Poc.) *, 

 now living in the Gardens, a, ilistinct but small orifice is observ- 

 able upon the pastei-n of the fore foot, and the white hair imme- 

 diately around it is at times stained yellow, proving that a, gbmd 

 is present and active. This animal is a female nearly live years 

 old ; and the preorbital gland is never prominent or turgid as 

 described by Hodgson in the case of the male C thavf. It is 

 repi-esented exteriially by a circular orifice, from which exude 

 drops of whitish fluid hardening into solid particles, I'ecalling 

 both the appearance and scent of gum arable. I am unaljle to 

 state anything about the inguinal glands. 



Capkicornis (or Capricornulus) crispus Teuuii. 

 (The Japanese Serow.) (Text-fig. 85, B.) 



Mr. Edward Gerrard kindly lent me a dried skin of this species. 

 The preorbital gland consisted of a simple hair-lined pouch 

 with a small subcircular orilice. The pedal glands were well 

 developed on all four feet, and resembled almost exactly in 

 structure those of Nceuiorhedus raddeamts. The feet also were 

 constructed as in that species, though the hairy clothing was 

 longer. There were four teats, but no inguinal glands. 



I am also indebted to Mr. E. Gerrai-d for the opportunity to 

 examine the flat skin of a female of C anjjjrodioites fi-om Szechuen. 

 On this I could find no pedal glands except a shallow dej)ression 

 on one of the anterior feet, recalling the aborteil pedal glands of 

 Capra, Pseii,d,ois, and Ihniltragiis. Moreover, the hair on the 

 front of the pastern did not extend so far downwards between 

 the hoofs as in C. crispus and Na-iiiorhedits raddeanns. Tlie state 

 of preservation of the feet on this skin does not justify the tinal
