MOUFFLON-STALKING IN CYPKUS 381 



we managed, however, to reach London by the Hook 

 of Holland route in exactly a week more. 



Note. — Some years ago I received a letter from a 

 friend in Cyprus saying, "No moufflon has been 

 shot here since yours." It might therefore not be 

 impertinent to ask whence the 27-inch head, which 

 was produced shortly after my expedition, and is 

 now claimed by the proprietor of a museum in this 

 country as " the record Cyprus sheep," came ? He is 

 on the horns of a dilemma, as either it is a poached 

 specimen, or it is merely a rather small Armenian 

 sheep.
