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

 skins 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 moimtains 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 Paypa, and to the Cliinese as Shanli.

 red colour of the lower parts of the legs, which are grey in H. bubalina. It is
