 (?) Capra sibirica transalaiana, Lorenz, op. cit. p. 90 ; Lydekker, 



loc. cit. 



Typical locality uncertain, the race being founded on a 

 skin purchased in Tashkent ; if transalaiana be the same, 

 the locality will be in the neighbourhood of the Transalai. 



General colour described as bright foxy red in winter, 

 with a distinct light saddle, and in summer light greyish 

 brown, with a dark dorsal stripe, but no light saddle. After 

 remarking that such a seasonal colouring is the reverse of 

 what normally occurs in this group of ibex, and suggesting 

 that the absence of a light saddle in summer may be due to 

 its obscuration by the presence of brown tips to the hairs, 

 Lorenz proceeds to describe precisely similar features in his 

 transalaiana, which is admitted to be probably inseparable 

 from alaiana.
