THE world's record head of Jackson's hartebeest 

 This aninnil was shot bv Mr. Litchflekl in British East Africa in 1<)()9: the length of 

 horn along the curve is 20 inches, the distance hctw.H>n the tips of th.. horns is 14i inciics. 

 Length of the horn dim-rs ureatly among the members of any species, and that certain 

 specimens have horns of unusual length is interesting from the standpoint i.f individual 

 variation and evolution, although the record head itself can have little more scientific 

 value than any head with horns of good length
