Abstract
SPORTSMEN and naturalists will be interested to learn that Mr. Talbot Clifton, who has recently been travelling in northern Siberia, has brought home from the valley of the Lena the skin and skull of a wild sheep of which no complete examples have hitherto been known in England. This sheep is the Ovis borealis of Severtzoff, a near ally of the bighorns of Kamchatka and Alaska. As it has no English name, it may well be known as Clifton's bighorn. The skin is being mounted by Rowland Ward, Ltd., and will before long be exhibited to the Zoological Society.
