In the male specimen forming the subject of plate xv. the front angles 

 of the horns are distinct and strongly developed, but they are much more 

 rounded off in the head represented in iig. 34. There appear indeed to be 

 two sub-varieties of this race, differing in this respect, but whether these 

 are confined to particular localities, I have no means of ascertaining. As 

 already said, the development of the front angles of the horns appears, on 

 the whole, to be decidedly more marked than in the Siberian race. The 

 Ov/s hlythi of Severtzoff was founded on specimens of this sheep in which 

 the outer front edge of the horns is rounded off. 



Distrilnition. — The plateau of Tibet, from Northern Ladak to the 

 districts north of Sikhim, and probably farther east ; northwards it extends 

 to the Kuenlun, and perhaps beyond the Mustag, while eastwards the range 

 may extend along the southern border of the Gobi Desert to join that 

 of the preceding race, with which the present form may intergrade. 

 Unknown to the southward of the main axis of the Himalaya. In 

 Western Tibet not found in summer below an elevation of about 15,000 

 feet above the sea-level, but in winter descending locally to some 12,000 

 or 1000 feet above the level of the town of Leh.
