Edw., from Western Ssu-chuan; B. taxi- 
color from Bhutan and the eastern 
Himalayas, and our present form, which 
is the most northerly form. There ap¬ 
pear to be more than one variety of the 
Bhutan takin. 
The size of an ox, with black, grace¬ 
ful horns that rise up on the forehead, 
turn outward and then backward, a short 
tail, thick, heavy legs and large hoofs, 
the takin is one of the most peculiar¬ 
looking animals of modern times. It 
somewhat resembles the Rocky Mountain 
goat, but its horns are very different. 
It is much larger and has a very high, 
strongly convex bridge to the nose. In 
spite of its bulk, however, it is an expert 
climber, and lives at altitudes of from 
8,000 to 12,000 feet, keeping to the most 
precipitous slopes and cliffs, which it 
negotiates as easily as any goat. In fact, 
it has all the habits of a goat, and is 
very nearly as quick and agile as the 
goral itself. 
In color our species is of a fine pale, 
golden-white, the hair in winter being 
long and wavy. But for its clumsiness 
and the high, rounded nose, the takin 
might be considered a beautiful animal, 
and in any case its head makes a mag¬ 
nificent trophy and its coat a splendid 
rug. The takin lives in a region where 
rhododendrons grow in great forests, 
and bamboos in thick jungles, in spite 
of the altitude, and it is on the leaves of 
the bamboos that it mainly lives. 
On a trip to the Tai Shan the present 
writer was fortunate enough to shoot 
two takin bulls, of which the larger, now 
in the United States National Museum, 
measured 50 inches at the shoulder, 
weighed about 600 pounds, and had 
horns over 20 inches in length. 
The Chinese hunters call this takir 
Pan-tou Yang or Pan Yang, a name 
which has led to some confusion be¬ 
tween it and the North Shansi wilt 
sheep. Indeed, one writer on Chinese 
big game, owing to this confusion, ha‘ 
made the statement that takins occur ir 
North Shansi. Another name used b) 
the Tai Pei Shan natives for the takir 
is Pei Yang, or “white sheep’’; while h 
Ssu-chuan the word Yeh Niu, or “wilt 
ox,” is irsed for the local species. 
INLAND BIRD-BANDING 
ASSOCIATION 
(Continued from page 143) 
Under Mr. Cleaves’ direction the Bird 
Banding Association grew rapidly, an 
when his work called him from the vicin 
ity of New York City and he found him 
self unable longer to be its directin 
genius, it was also apparent that bird 
banding had outgrown the resources o 
the Linnsean Society. The latest impor 
tant development under the Cleaves rt 
gime had to do with trapping birds. M: 
S. Prentiss Baldwin (whose address i 
the Williamson Building, Clevelanc 
Ohio), at that time one of the most ac 
tive members of the Association, had jus 
worked out methods and possibilities c 
trapping adult birds at feeding station 
The birds are in no way harmed and r< 
turn again and again to the traps in tf
