development of horns* have shown that it is the horn-sheath which causes the form of the horn, and since, on the other hand, a retardation of the development occurs under domestication in the sense that the growth of the horn remains fixed at the stage of an earlier youthful form, it is easy to understand that only a sheep which is flat-horned in its youth could have produced a sheep with compressed horns like the turbary sheep. of Rütimeyer.

The appearance of the horn-cores of the turbary sheep and the goat-horned sheep mentioned in the æneolithic and copper-culture strata of Anau may, therefore, easily be considered the remains of an autochthonously derived domesticated form, especially because of the quantity of transitional forms to the large-horned sheep.
