ARGALI 401 
Skull and Horns of Siberian Argali. 
From a specimen shot by Mr. St. George Littledale in the Altai. 
3.—SIBERIAN ARGALI (0. ammon typica). 
A more or less distinct white patch on the rump, not extending on 
to the thigh, which is dark-coloured like the back; no ruff on the 
throat, even in the long winter-coat. In summer the coat of old males, 
which is very short, tends to become more or less light-coloured all 
over. Height at shoulder from about 45 inches to 4 feet ; weight from 
about 250 to 350 lbs. As in the Tibetan race, considerable individual 
variation may be noticed in the horns, some having the outer front 
angle much more developed than usual; it does not appear that these 
differences can be accounted for by age. 
Distribution—In former times apparently extending from the Baikal 
Mountains to the Altai; now chiefly restricted to the latter area.
