as well is physical difficulties present
ed to exploration in the country which
it inhabits. The recent British expedi
ion in Thibet resulted in some fur
tIer expeditions across the frontier
and few specimens of the takin have
lEus come to hand.
The scientific interest attaching to
tho takin depends on the fact that It
furnishes one of the numerous links
between the antelopes and the more
familiar sheath-horned Euminants
which we know as cattle (oX, buffalo
bison) sheep and goats.
The takin has I'm the adult broad tu
mid bases to the horns, which nearly
meet in the middle line, and curya
ture which Is not unlike that presented
by the horns of the gnu. There is
however, one northern cavlcorn-the
musk OK of the arctic circle-which in
the general character of the horns
and limbs, with large lateral hoofs,
presents marked resemblance to the
takin.
1t is probable that the takin is an
offshoot of the, antelope stock which
ultimately produced the musk OK, just
as the chamois, the serow and the 60
raj are probably remnants of another
antelope line of ancestry which gave
rise TO the goats and sheep.
