84 THE ZOOLOGIST. 



It may be added that the Goral figured in my ' Great and 

 Small Game of India,' &c. (Rowland Ward), is U. bedfordi. In 

 colour this animal accords in some respects with the description 

 of U. griseus of Eastern Tibet; but the wide separation of the 

 two forms may be regarded as sufficient evidence of their 

 distinctness. 



To determine the respective habitats of the two Himalayan 

 Gorals must in part be left to others. Judging from its dark 

 colour, I should be inclined to regard the brown species (U. goral) 

 as a native of the damp forests of the Terai, and the grey U. bed- 

 fordi as an inhabitant of drier and colder forests. So far as my 

 recollection carries, the Kashmir Goral is the grey type ; and 

 the description given by General Maclntyre would seem to 

 indicate that he had to do with the same type of animal in 

 Kumaon. This is confirmed by the fact that there is living at 

 the present time in the London Zoological Gardens a specimen 

 of Urotragus bedfordi from Chamba, presented in the summer of 

 last year by Major Rodon. It therefore seems clear that the 

 Grey Goral is the Eastern type ; but it is possible that it may 

 also range into part of the Nepal area.
