I obtained tliree skins of the adult and one of the young of this species, the 

 latter presenting no trace of spots. It is not at all uncommon on the Kakhyen 

 hills, where its call was nightly heard around our camp at Ponsee, at 3,500 feet 

 above the sea. It is very abundant in the hill ranges to the north of Teng-yue- 

 chow, and at certain seasons its flesh is largely brought to the market for food, and 

 its skin is held in high esteem as a leather, soft as the finest chamois. 



I have compared these with Nepal specimens, with which they perfectly agree 

 externally as well as in their skulls.
