OVIS BROOKEI. 



[Sir VICTOR BROOKE, Bart., and Mr. B. BROOKE, P.Z.S. 1875, p. 521]. 



THIS species is based upon a skull and horns in our own collection. 

 The locality from which the specimen was obtained in not so certain 

 as could be desired, but we have strong reasons for believing that the 

 animal was shot in the vicinity of Leh, in Ladak. In its much 

 smaller size it differs from Ovis hodgsoni, and in its deeply sulcated 

 horns, the angles of which are very much rounded and the terminal 

 curve but slightly developed, it differs as decidedly from Ovis karelini. 

 It is not improbable that the species will be found to inhabit the 



Kuenluen Mountains.
