TUB NEPAUB SHEEP. 
wrinkled, except near the tips, which are smooth and 
round. 
Tile colour of the animal is a pale slaty-blue, ob- 
scured with earthy-brown, in summer overlaid with 
a rufous tint. Head below, and inside of the limbs 
and hams, yellowish-white, edge of the buttocks be- 
hind, and of the tail, pure white ; face, parts of the 
limbs and chest, blackish ; bands on the flanks the 
same, and also the tip of the tail. 
It is found in the wild state in the Kachar region 
of Nepaul, amid the glaciers of the Himalaya, and 
both on the Indian and Thibetian sides of the snowy 
crests of that range, and is sufficiently bold and 
scandent, but far less pugnacious, capricious and 
curious than the Jharal or goat foi'merly noticed. 
The female has the chaffron straight, the horns erect,* 
subrecurved, and greatly depressed. The young 
want the marks on the limbs and flanks. 
It differs from the Musmon by the decided double 
flexure of the horns, their presence in the females, 
and the want of a tuft beneath the throat. |
