the usual nodular projections, but without the slightest indica- 

 tion of palmation. 



The left antler presents three prongs ; the two outer branches 

 correspond with those on the right, while the other is centrally 

 situated. The tip of the forward prong is slightly broken and 

 measures 31 cm, in length. The middle branch measures 23 cm. 

 and the last or posterior spike 33 cm. Greatest spread of antlers 

 from tip to the most extreme tip, 62 cm. There is absolutely no 

 palmation indicated on either side. The skin is mostly eroded 

 from the horns, though they are still somewhat soft, particularly 

 at the tips, for a few shreds are still attached to either horn, 

 principally near the bases. Distance between antlers at their 

 insertion, 18 cm. Circumference of left antler at insertion, 18 cm. ; 

 of right antler, 19 cm.
