“The Tehr or Wild Goats of the Himalaya (of Simla and Mus- 
curi) have the anterior edge of the horns decidedly nodose, though 
less so than the Jharal.’’—Hodgson, J. A. S. B. iv. 491, 1835. 
*“‘ Horns of the [bea are attached to the Zearuts and places of 
sacred note in Afghanistan.” —Bengal Journ. 1841, 978. 
“The Ibex is so abundant in Thibet, as to be killed for their 
potham or fine wool, which is used to make shawls. They sur- 
round them when the mountains are covered with snow. The 
horns are slit down longitudmally, and formed into bows for 
archery.” —Lord A. Hay. 
In the Collection from Thibet im the India House Museum 
there are the skins and skulls of what appear to be two species 
of Capra, but the skulls and skins are not attached together, and 
the horns of both are very similar. One has short hair and a 
black beard, and the skull has an elongated face. The other has 
a black, abundant beard, and very elongated soft fur, like Capra 
Sibirica, and the skull which appears to belong to it has a short 
face, very broad at the orbits. 
4. CapRA? L&2vIcoRNIS. The SMOOTH-HORNED IBEx. 
Grey brown. Feet, head, large beard, dorsal and posterior 
ventral line, black. Nose pale. Anal disk small, white. Lateral 
streak none. Horns very long, curved, smooth; base rounded, 
three-sided. 
Capra levicornis, Sundevall, Pecora, 95. 
Hab. 2? Menagerie of the French Museum. Two males. 
The horns are intermediate between C. Ibex and C. hircus; 
they are probably hybrids. The smoothness of the horns of the 
specimens in the Paris Museum (1851) appears to arise from the 
animal having rubbed them against the wall and bars of his pad- 
dock. 
** Ears very shortly pilose. 
5. Capra NuBIANA. The BEDEN or JAELA. 
Fulvous grey (in winter brown). Dorsal line and sides of tail 
blackish, beneath white. Feet black and white spotted. Ears 
three-streaked. Male bearded, beard black. Horns very long, 
subtriangular above, knotted, reclinate on the base. Female 
beardless. Horns slender, smooth, rather compressed, apex 
slightly inclined.
