A further 120 li west stands Mount Lí [釐]. Its southern slope has much jade, its northern slope much madder. There is a beast like an ox, with a dark-green body and a voice like an infant's. It eats people and is called Xī Qú [犀渠]. The Yōngyōng [滽滽] River rises here and flows south into the Yī [伊]. There is a beast called Xié [𤢺], like a Nòuquǎn [獳犬], but with scales and hair like pig bristles.From the English edition of Mountains & Seas.
