Abstract
MR. ROWLAND WARD has on view at his establishment in Piccadilly a mounted adult male and female musk-ox from East Greenland, which differ from the ordinary form in having a large whitish patch on the face, as well as in certain other details of coloration. They may be made the types of a new race, under the name Ovibos moschatus wardi. The female was recently exhibited at the Zoological Society.
