* The main distinction between Mr. Hodgson's A. tibetanus and his A. 
hemachalamus, hodie, consists in the former being nearly twice as large as the 
other, and having a proportionally much shorter tail. I cannot satisfactorily 
discriminate two species in the Society's skins and skulls.— Ftc/e J A S 
XII, 409. ... 
t This animal lived for many months in the Society's compound, and 
seemed to be indifferent to the hottest sun-shine, in which he habitually basked 
lying on his back ; and in this position he was at last found dead, apparently 
from repletion.
