ianus, s both by the same authority. 
Other forms occur in Indo-China, the 
Himalayas, and Japan. These little 
goats frequent high, precipitous cliffs, 
and offer the hunter the most exciting 
kind of sport. They inherit all the 
agility of their kind, are quick as light¬ 
ning in seeking cover, and seem to be 
possessed of extraordinary cunning in 
eluding their enemies. They love to sit 
out on the end of some spur of rock 
scanning the country below them, and 
the hunter will find his work cut out to 
approach them unseen. His best chance 
is to use beaters and to wait, rifle or 
shotgun ready, at some strategic point 
till the nimble animals are driven his 
way. Gorals are called Clung Yang or 
B Lincj Yang, “gray-sheep” or “crag- 
sheep” by the Chinese. 
The serows ( N emorhosdus) are large 
cousins of the gorals, which they much 
resemble in general appearance and 
habits, though preferring more wooded 
country, and differing in their greater 
size, and in the presence of an open 
gland on either side of the face below 
the eye, with a corresponding pit in the 
skull. So far as is known, no scrow 
occurs further north than the Tsing 
I Ling, the species that are to be found in 
that range being Nemorhccdus vidiauus, 
Heude, in South Shensi, and N. milne- 
cdwardsi, David, in Southwestern Kan- 
B su. Both these forms extend into Ssu- 
chuan, and are characterized by having 
white manes in some individuals, the 
head and body blackish, varying to gray 
according to season, and the' lower parts 
of the legs chestnut-red. The only dif¬ 
ference between the two forms appears 
to lie in the wider spread, smaller sized. 
; and more deeply grooved horns of the 
western specie, N. milne-edwardsi. The 
true white-maned serow is N. argyro- 
choctes, Heude, of the coastal province 
of Chekiang, in Southeast China. This 
species has been spoken of by authorities 
such as the late Mr. Lydebeker as oc¬ 
curring in Ssu-chuan, but this is not the 
:ase. A wide gap, uninhabited by any 
serows occurs between the habitat of 
V. argyrochoetes and Ssu-chuan. In 
South China and Tonkin N. collasinus, 
Teude, and N. rocherianus, Heude, re¬ 
spectively occur. The latter has no 
white mane; the former is known only 
~>y a pair of horns from Canton province. 
Serows are very difficult animals to 
lunt, living as they do in inaccessible 
nountainous and forested areas. Few 
Europeans have ever shot any of the 
I ffiinese species, though the Sikawei 
duseum in Shanghai has a fine series 
•f skins and skulls gathered together by 
he late Pere Hcnrlc 
PHE last and probably by common 
consent the most desirable from a 
portsman s point of view of the big 
ame animals of these regions is the 
o-called golden takin ( Budorcas bed- 
ordi, Thos.) of the Tai Pei Shan sec- 
lon of the Tsing Ling mountains in 
'Outhwestern Shensi. The takins are 
elated to the gorals and serows on the 
ne hand, and to the musk-ox ( Oi'ibos) 
n the other. Only three species are 
nown, namely Budorcas tliibetanus, M.-

We are the makers of all kinds 
of high-grade bamboo rods— 
from the lightest of fly to the 
heavy rod for the surf. 
Our workshop is up to date— 
our workmen skillful—our meth¬ 
ods scientific—our material the 
best. Result — our rods, many 
w/ , , , users, many friends. 
Tk - grades ° f rods—ICROSS, FORSYTH and ESSEX. 
1 he CROSS, our most expensive, is double-built, twelve strips in 
hexagon instead of six, giving finest outside growth bamboo and 
maximum power from center to outside. We consider it the best rod 
,, ° U1 :, FORSYTH,” of the six-strip conventional design, is every- 
mg that a single-built rod can be, and we believe it is unequalled by 
any maker m this country or abroad. 
. ( ? Ur r ^ SSEX ” i * our lowest-priced rod. A mighty fine rod, as its 
hosts of friends will testify, among whom are numbered some of the 
most expert fishermen in this country. 
We manufacture and sell glued-up stock in practically all sizes; also 
hardware, that a fisherman may finish his own rods. 
Our rods carried by the leading Sporting Goods dealers; if, however, 
not your dealer, write us.
