(315) Hystrix leucura. — The Indian Porcupine. 

 No specimens were obtained. Quills, however, were fairly common in the 

 wooded side nallahs of Lower Chitral. I also picked up a quill at Dir. 

 (823) Lepus tihetanus, — The Afghan Hare. 

 I am not quite certain of the identification, as, although they are fairly 

 common at all elevations from 4,000 to 11,000 feet, I obtained no fresh 

 specimens to view, and the only skin I saw was in very bad condition. 

 (345) Ovis vignei. — The Urial or Sha. 

 The Shapu variety is common in the Lower Chitral valleys, coming down 

 in winter as low as 5,000 feet. 



(348) Capra sihirica. — The Himalayan Ibex. 

 Common in the valleys of Upper Chitral at elevations of 7,000 to 18,000 

 according to season. 



(349) Capra falconeri. — The Markhor. 

 Abound in all the wooded valleys of Lower Chitral. Cabul and Pir Panjal 

 varieties, varieties between these two shapes and some of the Cabul varieties 

 tending slightly towards the Suliman variety. 



(370) Moschus moschtferus.— The Musk-Deer. 

 Evidently fairly common in the lower wooded valleys. Specimens were 

 obtained in the Shishi Koh, Ashreth, and Utzun nallahs. Is probably very 

 common in Kafiristan and Dir. 



(374) Sus cristatus. — The Indian wild Boar. 

 The rootings of this pig are very noticeable in the Shishi Koh and the 

 valleys below Drosh. Specimens were seen in the Shishi Koh, Utzun, Patti- 

 son, and Chuchukheni nallahs.
