One difference of habit between the Great Tibetan Sheep and the Sharpu 
is that the latter,although often found in open and almost flat ground, is a better 
climber than the “Great sheep.’’ Hence although Sharpu may be first found in 
easy places, they may move slowly away to the cliffs, for the spirit of wan- 
dering appears to guide them and they do not mind moving over the hill 
ranges during the hot hours of the day nearly so much as is the case with many 
of the game animals, 
In the “‘ Sportsman’s Guide to Kashmir and Ladak”’ a long dreary stalk 
after Sharpu is described. In that stalk the game was particularly restless, 
but at other times a very easy approach can often be made. 
Starting on a clear evening from a camp in a ravine opposite to Nanga Parbat 
some Sharpu were seen on the hill side. The object of the walk was not to shoot 
any animal, but to get opposite to the glorious glaciers and view them by 
moonlight. Care was taken not to cause any alarm as the ascent was continued. 
At night the scene was magnificent, the towering sheets of ice standing out in the 
moonlight from the dark valleys beneath. Cold and dreary it might be consider- 
ed by some, but the huge mass of the ice covered mountain, and the vastness of 
the view were entrancing. Cold it certainly was, and the journey back in the 
darker parts of the ravines was not easy, but the spell and call of the mountain
