Auch hier kommt es natürlich vor, wie der bekannte Fall von Ovis brookci in Zanskar beweist. Der Umstand, daß diese eigentümlichen Hörner in gewissem Grade zwischen denen von C. cyllimricornis und der typischen citucasica vermittelnd sind, zusammen mit der Tatsache, daß sie von derselben Lokalität kommen, Legt nahe, dass sie zu der gleichen Tierart gehören wie das, auf das der letztere Name von Dr. Menzbier beschränkt ist. Es stimmt, dass Dr. Menzbier von k spricht

In any case, it is clear that the specimenunder consideration is not the typical C. cai/casicd^ and if (probably togetherwith Dr. Menzbiers specimens) it should indicate a new form, suchspecies or sub-species will require a tresh name.
