OVIS BROOKE I. 



203, 



OVIS BROOKEI. 



[Sir Victor Brooke, Bart., and Mr. B. Brooke, P.Z.S. 1875, P- S^iJ- 



This species is based upon a skull and horns in our ov/n collection. 



The locality from which the specimen was obtained in not so certain 



as could be desired, but we have strong reasons for believing that the 



animal was shot in the vicinity of Leh, in Ladak, In its much 



smaller size it differs from Ovis hodgsoni, and in its deeply sulcated 



horns, the angles of which are very much rounded and the terminal 



curve but slightly developed, it differs as decidedly from Ovis karelini. 



It is not improbable that the species will be found to inhabit the 



Kuenluen Mountains. 



Habitat — Ladak. 



Dimensions of the specimen : 



Length of skull, measured from highest point between 



the horn 

 Smallest breadth between orbits 

 Length of horns, round the curve 

 Circumference of horns ...
