44 RECORDS OF BIG GAME 
Ilead of Moufion. 
From a specimen in the British Museum, shot by Mr. F. G. Barclay. 
The MOUFLON (Ovis musimon). 
The large light-coloured saddle on the otherwise dark summer-coat 
of the rams and the form of the horns are so distinctive of the species 
that nothing in the way of description need be attempted in this place. 
The horns of rams normally curve forwards so as to have their tips 
below the eyes, and are comparatively massive, with the wrinkles of a 
type somewhat different from that obtaining in the Armenian sheep. 
Two races appear recognisable, in one of which the ewes are hornless, 
while in the other they have short horns. Height at shoulder about 
27 inches. 
Distribution.—At the present day the islands of Sardinia and Corsica. 
Probably the race with hornless ewes is restricted to one of these 
islands.
