The MARKHOR (Capra falconeri). ^The markhor, of which there are several races, passing more or lesscompletely into one another, introduces us to the true goats {Capra).The males differ from the tahr by their larger horns, the length ofwhich greatly exceeds that of the head, and likewise by the presence ofa distinct beard on the chin. In most races of the markhor the beardis extended so as to form a fringe on the throat and chest ; the hairon the body is also elongated ; and the horns form a spiral, unlike thescimitar-shape characteristic of the ibex and goat.
