MAMMALIA. IpO 



** Goats are distinguished by the horns being inclined very ob- 

 liquely, not angular, compressed, and presenting a sharp keeled 

 edge to the front, whereby they may be distinguished at once 

 from all kinds of Sheep and Ibexes. They have usually a true 

 beard, common to both sexes, not present in the Sheep. They 

 have callosities on the knees, and sometimes also on the chest."
