Dr. Jayakar has favoured me with the following notes on this 

 interesting animal : — 



" I should think, from the description given to me, that these 

 Goats were in all probability shot at a great height, between 1500 

 and 2000 feet. I have no personal knowledge of the habits of the 

 animal, but am informed by the Arabs that it does not go in large 

 herds, but in groups of a few. As there appears to be a good deal 

 of vegetation above a certain height, it seems that they rarely, if 

 ever, come down into the valley below. 1 believe the same species 

 to be found throughout the whole of the hilly part of Oman ; it 

 occurs in Jalan Sharkeeveh and the Jebel Akhdar range, and in all 

 its offshoots."— A. S. G. J.

The female specimen has, as might be expected, 1 — 2 = 6 mammae. 



The considerable extension of the known range of the genus 

 effected by Dr. Jayakar's discovery of this new form of Dassy has 

 been already noted.
