Records of horns from the Pir Panjal* * do not exist. The only two pairs of 
horns of a fairly good size known of, measured 45 inches. One was shot long 
ago after a prolonged search for a good head, and certainlj’ was bigger than any 
other seen. The other was brought in to Srinagar either in 1886 or 1887 and 
was measmed by Henri Dauvergne. 
The late Captain S. G. Allan often talked about his visits to the Pir Panjal, 
but stated he had seen no good Markhor heads even in the sixties. 
A few but very few big bucks are to be found in Poonch and are protected 
by the Rajah. So let a return be made to the Kajnag. Accompanied by a 
friend a move was made to the ground opposite to Rampur on the old Abbot- 
tabad route. Report had told of many big bucks high up in the Malangan 
cliffs, and in other rocky mountains. 
•t-(NoTE — Shamshibi’i Ranges are next to the Kajnag.) 
* In Rowland Ward’s Records of Big Game the largest head from the Pir Panjal 
measures 53" (Maj. F. W. Walshe) ; other good heads from this area are 51 1" 
(Sir Edmund Loder) and 48J" (Mr. J. G. ^Millais).
