SECOND YAEKAND MISSION. 
Hodgson’s name altogether and adopt Blyth’s 0. burrliel for this wild sheep, but the spelling 
is very erroneous, and, on the whole, it appears as well to keep the name nahura. 
In his original description, Hodgson figured and described the skull of a young Ovis hodg- 
soni, which he supposed to he that of the male of his 0. nayaur , hut the type of the latter 
species was a female which he had alive. 
The only skin obtained from the Kuenlun by Dr. Stoliczka, that of a fine ram, represented 
on Plate XIY, closely resembles the animal found in Sikkim. It also agrees precisely with 
specimens from the North-West Himalayas. 
The locality at which the Kuenlun 0. nahura was obtained is beyond the previously 
known range of the animal. It has not hitherto been found further west; hut Prejevalski 
obtained it on the Altyn-tagh, south of Lob Nor. According to Jerdon it is unknown in 
the Himalaya west of the Sutlej, and is replaced in Ladak and the neighbouring regions 
by 0. vignei. This, however, is not quite correct. Adams has mentioned 1 that 0. nahura, 
is found in the Nubra valley in Northern Ladak, and I learn from Dr. Cayley that it is 
met with in most parts of Ladak, though it becomes rare to the westward, and that so far 
from being replaced by 0. vignei, the two species are sometimes found occupying the same 
valleys. 
The bharal has a considerable range to the eastward; it is common in Northern Sikkim, 
and it has recently been obtained by Pere David in Moupin, and a specimen from that locality 
has been figured by A. Milne-Edwards, 1. c. The plate represents a young male, but 
although the general colouration corresponds with that of the western Tibetan species, the 
curve of the horns appears somewhat different, for they rise more above the head in the Mou¬ 
pin annual.
