Shou 89 general type of those of the hangul, but larger, and with the beam bent suddenly forwards at the trez (third) tine, so that its upper half overhangs to a great extent the face ; number of points usually five, the brow-tine less constantly longer than the bez, and separated by a shorter interval from the burr, than is the case in the hangul. With regard to coloration, which Mr. Blanford states resembles that of C. cashmirianus, with the caudal disk well marked, more information is required. In a mounted head in the. Fig. 23.—Front view of Skull and Antlers of Shou. From a specimen in the British Museum. (Rowland Ward, Records of Big Game.) British Museum the colour is pale rufous brown ; and this is the colour of the entire body, including the buttocks in the coloured figure of a stag in Brian Hodgson's sketches. A second sketch, representing a stag and hind, in the same series, shows, however, the colour darker and a large white caudal disk ; this being probably the winter coat. In the aforesaid mounted specimen the ear is not more than one-third the length of the head, and is not distinctly white internally, but it appears longer in the sketches, and its small size in the stuffed head may be due to shrinking.
