PREEACE, 1©7 SECOND EDITION 
Since the publication of the first edition of this work under 
the title of “Horn Measurements,” I have been successful 
in collecting much new and valuable data bearing upon the 
measurements of horns and other statistics of Big Game. 
For this information I am to a considerable extent indebted 
to numerous sportsmen, and to the curators of some of the 
most important museums of the world, who have been kind 
enough to measure all the finest specimens in the collections 
under their charge. In addition to this valuable help, for which 
I desire to express my grateful acknowledgment, I have had a 
record carefully prepared of all the most remarkable specimens 
registered, as well as those that have from time to time passed 
through our hands. I am indebted to Mr. H. A. Bryden for 
much of the descriptive matter of the South African game. 
There will also be found embodied with all these new records 
numerous illustrations of typical heads, skulls, and horns drawn 
especially for this new edition. 
In addition to this supplementary information, the new 
edition will be found to contain more exact localities than have 
hitherto been recorded, and we continue in constant correspond- 
ence with sportsmen in almost every part of the world with a 
view of still further completing our records.
