THE GUN AT HOME AND ABROAD 
there are not sufficient specimens available to decide whether they should 
be treated as a distinct species. 
There are many localities in the western end of the range which appear 
admirably suited to the Capra cylindricornis , and I can see no reason why 
it should not flourish there; but no man has been able to explain why 
animals sometimes remain in one locality and yet never extend to other 
grounds not far distant that look every bit as well adapted to their require- 
ments. 
I have never seen Pallas’s tur on as difficult ground as that frequented 
by the Western Caucasian species; still, there is a great deal of up- and 
down-hill work involved in its pursuit.
