Yang, the Yellow or Imperial Sheep. It is brought into Peking 

 from Mongolia in large numbers in a frozen state, and sold for food. 

 The flesh is much esteemed for its fine flavour and tenderness, and 

 is eagerly purchased both by natives and foreigners. 



" The European gentlemen in Peking i;sed to go into Mongolia on 

 shooting-expeditions, for the purpose of hunting the Hivancj-Yang. 

 The animal, however, is very wary, and generally keeps a long way 

 out of range, so that the hunters are not very successful. It is con- 



sidered a great feat to kill one of them." — IF. Loci-hart.
