64 ON A BE BOW FROM AN NAM. 



Xeither does Sowerby's revision of Heude's 24 species (see P. 

 Z. S. 1917, pp. 7-26) lead to a satisfactory conclusion as to the 

 specific position of our Serow. According to locality it ought to be 

 Capricornis roclieriwius Heude, from Along Bay, Tonkin, but this 

 latter species is distinguished by its creamy-white stockings. Mr. 

 Kloss who has been working up the Mammals of Siam, tells me 

 that he has from there Serow skins with brown legs which he con- 

 siders to come under milne-edwardsi or vidianus. So it is very 

 possible that the Serow from Annam may belong to one of these 

 two species. But more material and much more study will be re- 

 quired before this question can be settled satisfactorily.
