This description comes from Major Smith from a skin the British Museum. Horns stand obliquely on the frontals, rather high above the orbits, nearly in contact at the base, extremely depressed, almost flat, tapering to a point which turns inwards, so as to nearly meet over the neck. Ashy buff in colour. Inhabits the district of Jemlah, the most elevated range of Central Asia, and extends into China. A detailed hand-colored engraving that shows this picture to perfection.
