This species has somewhat longish legs and an arched visage ; and the male has horns like those of the common sheep, with large pendent ears. They are furnished with a long, coarse, hairy wool. The tail is so much enveloped in fat as to be scarcely visible, the parts on each side swelling- out into a pair of naked hemispheres, of such a size as some- times to weigh nearly forty pounds : their substance is said to resemble suet. These sheep are found in many of the Tartarian deserts from the Vol...ga to the Irtish, and the Altaic chain of moun- tains. They exhibit more or less of the appearance just described, according to the nature of their pasture ; but are observed to flourish most in those which are of a saline nature. THE BEARDED SHEEP.
