were at all good, a record of slaughter in so short a time probably, but 

 hardly one to be proud of, but some men seem imbued with a regular

Classification of Horns. 



Good ... ... ... ... 60 to 64 inches 



Very good ... ... over 64 to 68 ,, 



and anything over the latter is of course very much of the superlative 

 order : the record is 75, as given in Mr. Rowland Ward's tl Record of 

 Big Game." In conclusion, let me beg sportsmen to remember that 

 " quality'' comes before " quantity," and that therefore one good head 

 is better than any number of indifferent ones.
