ened, and the horns always bent backwards, are 
larger in proportion than those of any other known 
ruminant. The tail is very short, while the lower 
jaw is furnished with a lengthened beard. The 
head is carried high, the look is fi.\ed, the move* 
inents rapid, and the whole carriage bold and easy. 
1 hese are the appearances which at first strike an 
observer, but, on a narrower inspection, we per- 
ceive that the horns are of a triangular form, covered 
with transverse ridges. There is no lachrymal 
sinus. The nostrils are not placed in a naked 
•nuzzle. The face is covered with long and thick 
silky but loose hail', extremely soft. 
Two specimens were possessed by the Parisian 
Menagerie; the one was of a greyish-brown, the other 
of a greyish-yellow colour. The last is represented 
•a Fred. Cuvier’s great work, and has served for our 
Copy here. They lived for several years, and ex- 
Inbited the same manners with the domestic goats.
