In the female the colouring is lighter than that of the male, having 

 more grey ; and the throat and foreneck are slatey instead of white, and 

 devoid of the long pendent frill which graces the other sex ; the dark 

 dorsal line, which in the male runs in a narrow stripe through the pale 

 disc, ends in the female at the commencement of the disc, and the tail 

 and croup are of the same canescent fawn colour ; the disc is far more 

 extensive than that of the male. Along the ridge of the neck above, 

 from the base of the horns to about 10 inches beyond them, there is a 

 mane of true woolly hair 6^ inches long, gradually fading into the crisp 

 quilly hair of the dorsal line. There is no dark list down the outside 

 of the limbs, but the colour is pale fawn. 



ins. 



Front surface of horns, 1 J broad. 



Inner lateral surface, 3 inches. 



In both sexes there is a beautifully soft inner coating of fine push- 

 meena wool of a pale mouse colour. 



The height of the animals I have not given, as the limbs are defective 

 in my specimens, 



The above measurements were taken with care, and although my 

 male appears somewhat superior in size to Mr. Hodgson's, the general 

 correspondence is evident enough.
