The SAIAR WILD SHEEP (Ovis sairensis). 



This rather small sheep is in some respects intermediate between 

 poll and aunnon, but 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. 



The English name- of Littledale's sheep was given to this species 

 before Ovis littledalei was described ; it is now transferred to the 

 latter. 



Distribution, Typically the Saiar or Sair Mountains.
