Skull and Horns of Suleman Markhor. From Mr. Humes specimens. C. and Z?.—CABUL and SULEMAN MARKHOR(0. falconer! megaceros and C. f, jerdoni). In the Cabul race of the markhor (C. falconeri megaceros), typicallyfrom the trans-Indus districts near Cabul, the horns are nearly straight,but show a slightly open spiral ; being, in fact, intermediate betweenthose of the Pir Panjal and Suleman races. Markhor from the Chitralvalley generally have horns of the Cabul type, but in some cases theseconform to the Pir Panjal type ; both types occurring in the members 368 RECORDS OF BIG GAME of one and the same flock. In the Suleman markhor (^C. falconeri jerdoni)the horns form a perfectly straight cone, upon which the spiral ridges runlike the worm of a screw. The distributional area of the latter raceincludes the trans-Indus hill-ranges on the frontier of the Punjab,Afghanistan, and Baluchistan, extending in the Suleman range as faras Mithankot, and also to the Ouetta district.
