THE SAIGA. On the Russian and Siberian steppes the animal shown in the picture is very common, frequently assembling in large herds. Its. gait is speedy but awkward as it endeavors to escape from the Kirghiz Tartars who pursue it over the arid stretches of its native region. Only the male Saiga has horns, but both sexes are marked with the distinguishing feature of the species, the large! projecting nose which gives these animals so odd an appearance. (Coins tartaricus.)
