The two animals are stated to be recognised as different from oneanother by the natives of Eastern Tibet, who affirm that the presentone lives at a higher altitude than the next. Both are distinguishablefrom the Himalayan goral by the character and colour of the pelage,as well as by their longer tails. THE GREY TIBETAN GORAL (Urotragus griseus) Although it may seem somewhat curious to find two nearly alliedspecies of the same genus inhabiting the same district, yet in theopinion of Professor Milne-Edwards this goral is entitled to specificdistinction from the preceding ; and as a matter ot tact it is notuncommon to find a larger and a smaller representative of the sametype of animal in one area.
