The goats live in troops on the mountains. Their senses are very acute. 

 The domestic goat, Capra Hircus L., has a sharp edge at the inside of the 

 horns, which is irregularly incised and sometimes vei-y broad. Of this species 

 there are many varieties. To this goat is similar Capra ^gagrus Gmel., 

 the Paseng of the Caucasian mountains and Persia, Menag. dio Mus. 11, 

 pp. 177 — 193, Guerin Iconogr., Mammif. PI. 44 bis, fig. 2, Diet. univ.

To the genus Capra and not to the Antilopes, as I think (with Sunde- 

 vall), ought to be referred Capra montana Harlan, Ant Hope lanigera 

 Ham, Smith, Linn. Trans. Xlii, i, pp. 38 — 40, Tab, iv., Capra americana 

 Richardson, Faun. bor. Am. i. Tab, 22, Schreb, Sdugth. Tab. 287 d. 

 This species has small horns, turned backwards and slightly curved, and 

 a white fleece. It forms the genus Haj^locerus of Ham. Smith. 



Ovis L. Horns in both sexes or in males only, striated wavily, 

 transverse at the base, turned backward, with the tip mostly again 

 bent forward. Hoofs compressed. Mammae two. Chin beardless. 

 K-egion between the eyes and nostrils convex.
