320 Ungulata. 



The meat of this animal is good for food; and the 

 silky hairs are spun and woven into fabrics. The tails, 

 especially the white ones, are largely used in the manu- 

 facture of wigs. In Tibet the tails are suspended as 

 streamers from poles set before the entrances to the 

 monasteries; and in China they are dyed red and affixed 

 as pennants to the roofs of summer residences. They are 

 used throughout the East as fly wisps or "chouris."
