Genus NEMORHiEDUS.

 Kemas, Ogilby P. Z. S., p. 138 (1836). Type, N. goral. 

 Capricornis, Ogilby P. Z. S., p. 139 (1836). Type, N. bubalina.

This genus is rather in confusion in consequence of the large 

 number of species that have been described, but which are doubt- 

 fully distinct from one another. The type of the genus is 

 Nemorhaedus sumatrensis ; N. goral is certainly distinct, but 

 N. bubalina seems to differ from N. sumatrensis only in being a 

 little larger ; N. rubida described by Blyth seems to be only a very 

 reddish form of M. sumatrensis; N. crispus from Japan appears to 

 be distinct ; N. swinhoei from Formosa was considered by Blyth 

 to be, like N. rubida merely a variety of N. sumatrensis ; finally 

 Milne Edwards in his Recherches Mammiferes described four new 

 species (i) N. caudatus which seems to most resemble N. goral 

 but has a very long tail ; (2) N. griseus and (3) N. cinereus which 

 seem somewhat intermediate between the goral and serow type ; 

 and finally (4) N. edwardsii which M. Milne Edwards allows is 

 very nearly allied to N. bubalina from which it differs only in
