The "Yellow Sheep," of which Dr. Lockhart has sent two skulls 

 to the British Museum, was described by Pallas under the name 

 ot Anttlope gutturosa (Spic. Zool. vii. 14, t. 2. 3. f. ] 4-1 7) The horns 

 are like those of Gazella dorcas, but rather loager. and with more 

 numerous and closer rings. 



The " Yellow Sheep of Mongolia" {Procapra gutturosa) is known 

 from the nearly allied " Goa " of Tibet {Procapra picticanda of 

 Hodgson) by its larger size and the shortness and thickness of the 

 horns, which have their tips turned u pwards. The two species agree 

 in the length, softness, and colour of the fur, and in having a distinct 

 white rump-spot. The horns of the Goa are much more slender 

 compressed, and longer than those of the Yellow Sheep, and have 

 the tips bent rather forwards. The length of the horn, along the 

 curves, of the adult YeUow Sheep is U inches, of the Goa 114 iirches 

 Ihe latter has about twenty-four or twenty-five, and the former onlv 

 twenty rings. There are also se%-eral differences in the skulls The 

 aperture of the front blood-vessels at the base of the horu in P nut 

 turosa IS very much larger than that in P. pictJcauda. Palla's de- 

 scribes the horns of P. gutturosa as " lutesceuti-ojmca;" but in the 

 two specimens in the British Museum they are of a dark blackish 

 horn-colour, in this respect very different 'from those of the "Goa " 

 (Gray, P. Z. S. 1 867, p. 240.) 



" The horns I took to the Museum yesterday I brought with me 

 from Pekin. The auimal to which they belong is called Hwang-
