I. Native Country of Sheep.

The native country of sheep is not known, and has not been since the earliest historical times. There are no wild sheep known, if we except the Ovis Montana, or wild sheep of Montana, in the United States, though at the Paris exhibition of 1865, several wild (so-called) sheep were exhibited, although bred in confinement. Among these were the wild sheep of Barbary, Ovis Tragelapus, more resembling a goat than our wild species, which is really a sheep; and also the Punjaub wild sheep, Ovis Cycloceras, a native of Northern India, and the European moufflon, Ovis Musimon, belonging to Corsica and Sardinia.

II. Their Diversified Character.

That sheep were the earliest domesticated of any of the wild animals, there is no doubt. Abel was a keeper of sheep, the first recorded shepherd or herdsman of any kind. The great length of time since their domestication, is also shown by their widely diversified character. The classification of Linnaeus shows: The Hornless, Horned, Black-faced, Spanish, Many horned, African, Guinea, Broad-tailed, Fat-rumped, Bucharian, Long-tailed, Cap-bearded, and Bovant. To these may be added the Siberian sheep of Asia, found also in Corsica and Barbary, and the Cretan sheep of the Grecian Islands, Hungary, and some portions of Austria, making about all the principal sub-species.

III. Anatomy of the Sheep.

SKELETON OF LEICESTER SHEEP.
