Mr. Sclater gave the following deseription 
of this goat in the “‘ Proceedings of the 
HARNESSED ANTELOPE. 
Zoological Society, 1886”: “The so-called 
Ibex of the Nilgherries, Anamallays, and

which inhabits suitable regions along 
the whole range of the Himalaya from 
Kashmir to Bhutan.” These two species

thick and much compressed horns, the 
anterior border of which is keeled, and 
the moist naked muffle. There are no 
glands in the fore-feet. The horns of 
the Nilgiri animal differ markedly from 
those of the Himalayan ahr, being
