health, and am now correcting the final proof-sheets of this work on board 
ship, preparatory to posting them at Suez, so I must trust to memory for what 
I heard concerning them. 
The large male, 2g Pershad, must be close upon nine feet high, and the 
female, Suffa Kullz, at least seven feet ; and I was astonished to find that 
they were the same that I had seen as little things in the Prince of Wales’s 
collection in 1876. Suffa Kullr’s age is not more than fifteen, yet she has been 
in afair way of becoming a mother. There was no doubt as to the possibility, 
and she seemed to show some signs of it, but it ended in disappointment ;

the boar came off victorious, leaving his antagonist dead on the field. 
Ovis Polti, p. 427—Mr. Carter in one of his letters to me says: “I see 
that you make the biggest horns of Ov7s Poléz 53 inches from tip to tip. In 
a photo of one brought down by the Yarkhand Expedition, which had a foot 
rule laid close, so as to scale it, the distance from tip to tip is nearly five feet.” 
I do not know which particular head is referred to, but two out of the 
three measurements given by me were of the finest heads brought down by 
the Expedition. There may have been a smaller pair with a wider spread, as
