Head of Arabian Ibex, from the Sinaitic Peninsula. 



ARABIAN IBEX (Capra nubiana). 



This species may be easily distinguished from both the Asiatic and 

 the Alpine species by the form of the horns, which are very long, 

 rather slender, and with the outer front angle much bevelled off, so that 

 the proper front surface is very narrow, and its transverse knots 

 proportionately short. 

 Distrihuiioii. — The mountains of Southern Arabia, Palestine, the 



Sinaitic Peninsula, Upper Egypt, and probably also those of 



Morocco and the interior of Senegambia. Arabian name, beden. 



Comparatively few European sportsmen have killed this handsome 



ibe.x, but it has been shot by E. N. Buxton.
