170 Dr. N. SevertzoiF on the Mammals of Turkestan. 



becomes wider on the outer side of the ear, expanding into a 

 large black spot 1^ inch in length and 6 lines in width. 

 But this extension of the black edge on the outer side of the 

 ears is also tolerably frequent in L. Lehmannij but not beyond 

 Ij line or, at the utmost, 2 lines in w^dth. 



For a comparison of the skulls of L. Lehmanni and L. tolai 

 I do not possess any material ; but according to the above- 

 mentioned characters of the former, the skulls of both species 

 must be compared with L. timidus. 



L. Lehmanni inhabits all the localities of the Thian-Shan 

 mountains which were explored by me, ascending to a height 

 of 10,000 feet, /. e. almost up to the utmost limit of the 

 juniper bushes, but only sporadically. It is very numerous 

 in the plains of the Chilik and its tributaries ; whilst south of 

 Jssik-kul, on the Suok-Tube and Kir-djal, in the Alexan- 

 drowsk mountain-chain, and near Merke, it was not found by 

 me, and it does not appear to inhabit tlie Karatau. On the 

 other hand, it is numerous on the steppes of Hey, as also on 

 the Syr-Darja steppes as far as the Karatau, and further west 

 as far as Lake Aral. Its range is bounded on the west by the 

 Caspian, as it has only been found on the eastern shores of 

 that sea. I have named it after the traveller who first ob- 

 tained examples of this species. 



61. Camelus bactrianus. 



Throughout Turkestan ; in summer it ascends even to the 

 utmost summits of the mountains. 



62. Camelus dromns. 



Occurs only in the western parts of Turkestan, and even 

 there only in the lowest plains ; I myself did not see it at any 

 elevation above 1000 feet. 



/3. hyhridus is found in exactly the same localities as the 

 preceding. 



63. Antilope suhgutturosa'^ . 



Resident throughout Turkestan in those localities which do 

 not exceed the altitude of 4000 feet ; but it is commonest on 

 the plains of about 1000 feet. 



* [According to Mr. Blanford, Turkestan examples differ from the 

 typical form in their darker face-markings and the much less open curve 

 of their horns ; but as intermediate specimens occur in Persia, he only 

 separates the Turkestan antelope as a variety, yarkandensis (Journ. As. 

 See. Beng. xliv. p. 112).— E. R. A.]
