BARBARY SHEEP This shows a fine ram, with a mane reaching almost to its hoof' animals are met with in large numbers, particularly a sheep of great size, having horns three, four, and even six palms in length. The Oorial. The vast range of the Himalaya affords feeding-ground to other species of wild sheep and wild goat, so different in the shape of the horns that the variations of the ovine race under domestication need not be matter for wonder when so much variety is seen in nature. The Oorial, or Sha, is found from North-west India to Persia. The horns make a half-curve back- wards, and are flattened. The coat is of reddish-brown colour, with white on the belly, legs, and throat. This species is the only wild sheep found in India Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Cornish, C.
