 1932, p. 23). 



FIG. 53. European Mouflon (Ovis musimon) 



In past years Mouflon have been introduced in various parts of 

 Germany (Hesse, Harz, Thuringia) , and have everywhere increased 

 satisfactorily. In the Schorfheide Reserve near Berlin there are 

 already 50 head. (Theodor G. Ahrens, MS., December, 1935.) 



In 1905, 20 Mouflon were introduced in the Harz Mountains, and 

 by 1916 they had increased to 80 individuals. In 1912 a similar 

 attempt succeeded in the Schaffgott district. (Krumbiegel, 1930, 



Ffrfc) 



In 1882 the species was introduced in the districts of Nyitra, 

 Gomor, and Upper Tatra, Hungary (now Czechoslovakia) . At that 

 time it was absolutely protected. (J. Schenk, in Hit., November, 

 1936.)
