might be looked for among the muflons or urial or some allied extinct 

 form, since the horns of most breeds approximate to the muflon type. 

 The presence of horns in the females of many breeds, Dorsetshire, for 

 example, may be either an inherited character, or a redundancy of a 

 nature similar to that which has produced four, or even five, horns in 

 the males of certain oriental breeds. Some eastern sheep, like the 

 Wallachian, have further departed from the muflon type by the 

 development of upright corkscrew horns comparable with those of the 

 markhor or kudu.
