Head of Tibetan Argali. Shot by Capt. F. M. Bailey. 
A.— TIBETAN ARGALI (O. ammon hodgsoni). 
Chiefly distinguished from the Siberian argali by the development 
of a distinct white ruff on the throat of the males, at least in the winter 
coat, and also by the less degree of lateral expansion of the horns, 
which do not form more than a single complete circle, are not “ nipped 
in” below the eyes, and generally broken at the tips. The wrinkles 
on the horns are perhaps somewhat less prominent, and the outer front 
angle is frequently well developed. 
The height at the shoulder is apparently rather less than in the 
typical argali. A ram shot by Lieut.-Col. Greenaway measured 76 inches 
from the nose to the tip of the tail, and weighed about 212 lbs. In 
another ram, whose age was estimated at 10 years, the height at the 
’ shoulder was 43 inches, the girth 50 inches, and the weight 205 lbs.
