CABUL and SULEMAN MARKHOR 

 (Capra falconer! megaceros and C. falconer! jerdom). 



In the Cabul race of the markhor {C. falconcri incgaccros), from the 

 trans-Indus districts near Cabul, the horns are nearly straight, but 

 show a slightly open spiral, being intermediate between those of the 

 I-'ir Panjal and Suleman races. On the other hand, in the latter {C. 

 falconcri jerdoni) the relatively small horns form a perfectly straight 

 cone, upon which the spiral ridges run like the " worm " of a screw. 

 The distributional area of the latter race includes the trans-Indus hill- 

 ranges on the frontier of the Punjab, Afghanistan, and Baluchistan,
