In these skins the whole animal is jet black, with the exception of the 
hairs along the mane, which are tawny at their tips and dirty white at their 
bases. 
* The kambing gurun is, speaking relatively, quite a common animal in 
suitable localities throughout the Peninsula, though no more than one 
specimen has ever been shot by a European. Its favourite haunts are the 
precipitous limestone hills, thickly clad with jungle, that form a very 
characteristic feature in the landscape of many parts of the Peninsula, both 
on the East and West coasts. It is, however, by no means confined to such 
localities, for it was not uncommon on Bukit Besar, more especially on the 
precipitous South-Western face, and even at our encampment above 
Ban Sai Kau we heard the curious call, half-way between a bleat and a roar, 
of the male. By offering a liberal reward we managed to persuade some of 
the Biserat natives to snare us two specimens. 1

‘This form is also common in the Batang Padang district, South Perak, 
and we saw two or three specimens at Gedong in the possession of natives. 
Speaking generally, this species is everywhere rarer than the succeeding, or 
possibly is not so much esteemed for food/
