Acct)nling to Hodgson this species has no preorhital, inguinal, 

 or pedal glands. The specimens, three in number, which I have 

 examined bear ont this st;>tement, except that in one female 

 example 1 discovered on the hind feet an abbreviated ghmdular 

 pocket like that found on the hind feet of a female P.^eix/oiti 

 iKU/anr. Sometimes, at least, there are four mamma'. 



Hodgson included in his genus lleinltratjus, II. hylocrias 

 from the Nilgiri Mills; but I cannot find any evidence that 

 he examined a. specimen of that species for the points mentioned 

 in his generic diagnosis. He separated /Ieinitra(jns from Capra 

 because of the larger size of the " muJlle " or naked skin at the 

 end of the no.se, the alleged pi-e.seiice of four teats, and the absence 

 of pedal glands, which lie himself admits may be altogether absent 

 in Capra. Accoi-ding to Rlanfonl, howovei-, //. hjilocrins has but 

 a single i)air of teats, thus agreeing with typical (!oats. 



Hoilg.son states tluit the male Tahrhasa .strong Caprine odour. 

 It IS true that in the winter and early spring the animal smells 

 .strongly ; but the odour is exactly like that of a Cormorant or 

 Frigate-Bird, and not like the odour of (Uipra ivtjmjrns or 

 fidconer'i. 



Judged bv their glaixls, the genera of ( 'aprina' fall into two 

 categories, :is follows:
