LYDEKKER, Richard.
Wild Oxen, Sheep, and Goats of all lands living and extinct.
The most difficult of all the Rowland Ward published and Lydekker/ Bryden authored a series of five volumes on the game animals of the world to get. Covers all the wild sheep of Europe, Asia, and North America. In addition, it covers the ibex of Asia and Europe as well as the wild Oxen of the Old and New World. Contains 28 magnificent hand-colored plates. The finest book ever produced for the international sheep hunter and rightly considered a crown jewel in his library. For some reason, this book, which has the same limitation as the companion volume Bryden/Great and Small Game of Africa, is much harder to find than the other volumes.
