THE IBEX OF IBEEIA 333 



only two species of the ibex family found in 

 Europe will owe their continued existence to the 

 sovereigns of the two Latin kingdoms in w^hich 

 they are respectively found. In speaking of them 

 as members of the ibex family, however, I am not 

 scientific, for the Spanish wild goat is really not 

 an ibex, but belongs to the family of ture^ or 

 sheep- like goats.
