There was none of the Himalayan animals that interested our travellersmore than the curious little creature known as the "musk-deer. " This isthe animal from which the famous scent is obtained; and which isconsequently a much persecuted creature. It dwells in the HimalayanMountains, ranging from an elevation of about eight thousand feet to thelimits of perpetual snow, and is an object of the chase to the huntersof these regions, who make their living by collecting the musk anddisposing of it to... the merchants of the plains. The animal itself is asmall creature, less in size than our fallow-deer, and of a speckledbrownish grey colour, darker on the hind-quarters. Its head is small, its ears long and upright, and it is without horns.
