[Note. — Since writing this paper I have been permitted by Mr. I. H. Burkill 

 of the Industrial vSection, Indian Museum, to examine a shield from the Daffla 

 Hills made of Bndorcas hide. This skin is probably that of a young animal and 

 is brownish in appearance, the dorsal stripe being indistinct. This fact is inter- 

 esting only as regards the distribution of the Takin, if we may assume that the 

 skin is that of an individual killed in the Daffla and not in the Mishmi Hills. J
