Typical locality Suleman Eange, Trans-Indus district of 

 Punjab. 



In the markhor of the Suleman and other Trans-Indus 

 districts, including some of the hills in the neighbourhood of 

 Quetta, the horns are relatively short and form a regular 

 straight cone, on the surface of which the front and hind 

 keels are wound in a sharp spiral, forming in good specimens 

 two to three complete spirals. The l)odily size is less than 

 in the typical and Pir Panjal races.
