We do not entirely agree with Mr. Kerr, 
that " all these seem to refer to the Broad^Tailed 
variety, except Pallas:" but think, if we had 
leisure, we could easily establish several other 
exceptions; that of Pennant, demonstrates it- 
self. 
To us it appears, that there is, probably, 
even a specific difference, between the Broad- 
Tailed and the Fat-Rumped Sheep ; as, besides 
the longer legs in proportion, the dilference of 
the tall, the pendulous cars, the arched nose, 
and the variety of colour, in this last animal, 
the wattles on the neck would to us appear 
almost decisive of a distinct species, or at least 
strongly marked variety.
