In the valley of Sanda, in the western province of Yunnan, I obtained two 

 sldns of two species of goat-antelope, one of which agrees with Hodgson's type 

 in the British Museum, with which I have compared it, whilst the other appears 

 to be an example of the next species to be described. These goat-antelopes are not 

 uncommon on the precipitous higher ranges of mountains which rise to an elevation 

 of 6,000 to 7,000 feet, and which are only very partially clad with forest in the 

 ravines and hollows. 



The animal is known to the Leesaws of the Sanda valley as the "Nga, to the 

 Shans as Faijpa, and to the Chinese as Shanli.

This species is distinguished from N. huhalina by the uniform brownish-black 

 colour of the upper parts, wliich tends to ferruginous on the thighs, and by the 

 red colour of the lower parts of the legs, which are grey in JBl. huhalina. It is
