Horns of the Sinaitic race of Nubian Ibex. 
The BEDEN or NUBIAN IBEX (Capra nubiana). 
This species may be easily distinguished from both the Asiatic 
and the Alpine ibex by the form of the horns, which are very long, 
rather slender, and with the outer front angle much bevelled off, so 
that the proper front surface is very narrow, and its transverse knots 
proportionately short. Three races are recognised, namely, the typical 
Nubian form, C. x2. typfica, the S. Arabian C. x. mengesz, and the 
Sinaitic C. 2. s¢maztica. In the form of its horns the latter approximates 
to the wild goat. 
Distribution.—The mountains of Southern Arabia, Palestine, the Sinaitic 
Peninsula, Upper Egypt, and probably also those of Morocco and 
the interior of Senegambia. Arabian name, dcden.
