A male Wild goat, Capra aegagrus Erxleben, 1777, is here described, which was obtained in Oman and is now in the gardens of the Zoological Society of London. It is the first known occurrence of the species in peninsular Arabia. The characters of the three species of subfam. Caprinae known to occur in the region are compared.
