Ovis BROOKEI.

This species is based upon a skull and horns in our own collection. 
The locality from which the specimen was obtained is 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 very slightly developed, it differs as decidedly from Ovis 
karelini. It is not improbable that the species will be found to 
inhabit the Kuenluen Mountains.
