600 EXTINCT 'AND VANISHING MAMMALS 



Practically all the information on this sheep, including the orig- 

 inal description, is sequestered in the Russian literature. 



Sushkin (1925, p. 150) gives the distribution as "southwestern 

 part of Stanovoi Range." This apparently means the Yablonoi 

 Mountains. 



An account of the animal is given by Nasonov and Dorogostajskij 

 (1915).
