A shot BB at it but without effect.  It ran to the river edge where one of my men headed it off & held it by a foreleg until I came & [[beheaded?]] it.  It was a fine old [[symbol: male]] with heavy hard horns.  The [[symbol: male]] I shot yesterday had no hard horns projecting beyond the skin covered bases & was a solitary animal & not yet breeding I suppose. 
[[circled]] 9 [[/circled]] In the early morning I went with A to the same place as last night to hunt for monkeys. We met a party of macaques at the bridge near the village & fired several shots at these but bagged none.  Later A shot a yg [[symbol: female]] serow from the cliffs below the point where I saw monkeys yesterday.  The serow was quite black & much darker than those of Lichang but this may be due to youth & spring pelage.  The stomach contained both grass & & leaves of bushes.
