LITTLEDALE'S SHEEP (Ovis saiarensis). 



This sheep, of which there are two races, the typical smaller one, and 

 the larger O. s. littledalei of the Hi Valley and part of Siberia, is in 

 some respects intermediate between poll and ammon. It differs from 

 both in having the face brown above and white on the muzzle. The 

 horns are less finely ridged than those of ammon and form a longer 

 spiral. In the larger Hi race the horns are much less " nipped in " 

 below the eyes, and also farther away from the ears. 

 Distribution, Typically from the Saiar Mountains, Altai ; the larger 

 race from the Hi Valley, Thian Shan, and the Semipalatinsk Altai.
