86 NEW YORK: ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 
HEAD OF OVIS DALLI, 
Mounted by W. R. McFadden & Son, Denver, Colo. 
overhangs both sides in two pronounced ridges. The ridge on 
the rear, or inferior, angle overhangs most strongly, as will be 
seen in the cross sectional diagram, and gives the horn the appear- 
ance of being strongly grooved on both sides. The rear groove, 
however, disappears entirely about six inches from the skull. The 
largest horns of this species do not possess more than about one- 
half the bulk of the largest horns of Owls montana, but they are 
much more handsomely modelled, and are rarely broken or 
“broomed ” at the tip. I have never seen a notably imperfect 
pair. 
The horns of the white sheep are frequently made into large, 
long-handled spoons or soup ladles, which find their way all over 
Alaska to Point Barrow.
