A comparative gross anatomical study was conducted on the atlas of Chiru and sheep. A prominentprism shaped dorsal tubercle was present in chiru whereas it was ill-developed in the sheep. Wings of the boneterminated into a rough thin, less convex edge in chiru but it was thicker and more convex in the sheep. Fossaatlantis of chiru was shallower than that of sheep. Anterior border of dorsal arch was wider in chiru but angularin the sheep.
