MAMMALIA. 153 
“ Goats are distinguished by the horns being inclined very ob- 
liquely, not angular, compressed, and presenting a sharp keeled 
edge to the front, whereby they may be distinguished at once 
from all kinds of Sheep and Ibexes. They have usually a true 
beard, common to both sexes, not present in the Sheep. They 
have callosities on the knees, and sometimes also on the chest.” 
—Hodgson.
