A good horn should be over 35 inches long, and 10 to 11 inches in circumference at the base. He lives to a great age, sometimes it is said reaching fifty years. The beasts themselves vary a good deal in colour; the biggest are generally piebald, that is, have a black head and neck, a beard ten inches long, black at the base and whitish at the ends, a light yellowish body, with black stomach and legs, and a black stripe down 19 the back. They are very shy, and live as high up in the snow as they can; generally coming down at about three in the afternoon to graze below the snow level.

They have one weak point, however, they do not anticipate danger from above. Having spent the whole day on the highest point necessary to safety, they seem to dismiss the thought of danger from above: this is the sportsman's greatest hope. Their activity is something wonderful; they will gallop over places a man cannot cross at all; so that when you get a good head, you may be...
