years penetrated from India into Thibet, and 
for whose observation.'? the reader is referred 
to the Philosophical Transadlions, are stated 
to be short, slender, rounded, upright, and 
bending, and very sharp-pointed. They are 
placed reniote at their bases, between which 
the hair forms a long curling tuft : the hair in 
the middle of the forehead is radiated. The 
space between the shoulders is much elevated ; 
and, along the neck, there is a sort of mane, 
which extends,, sometimes, all along the back, 
entirely to the tail. The tail, which is this 
animaFs most obvious specific mark, to use 
Mr. Bogle's words, spreads out broad and 
long,, with flowing hairs, like that of a beau- 
tiful marc, of a most elegant silky texture, 
and of a glossy silvery colour." One or 
these beautiful tails, preserved in the Britlsli 
Museum, is full six feet in length. The 
whole body, and particularly the lower parts, 
as well as the throat and the neck, arc covered 
with hairs so exceedingly long as to conceal 
at least half the legs, and make them appear 
very short: to which circumstance wc may,, 
perhaps,, refer much of the deceptive appear- 
ance for which the figure of this animal is so- 
remarkable.
