Some of the Kajnag heads vary and almost approach the other variety in the 
curves. 
There is a third or Trans-Indus variety {Capra falconeri jerdoni) with 4 or 
more twists, but this is not an appropriate name, for the “ Astor ” is also a 
Trans-Indus animal ; the term Sulieman Markhor is a better one. 
There is also a Cabul Markhor {Capra falconeri megaceros). The Pir Panjal and 
Astor horns are generally measured round the curves, the Suleiman which 
have many twists are taped straight. 
The list of horns is not a long one, for very few big heads are secured, but 
doubtless several between 50 to 52 inches have not been recorded.
