38 RECORDS OF BIG GAME 
Drawn from a specimen shot by J. G. Apear in Kashmir. 
KASHMIR STAG or BARASINGH (Cervus cashmirianus). 
Described first by Dr. H. Falconer, from a specimen obtained in 
the valley of Kashmir. 
This stag, the Hangal of Kashmir, is closely allied to the Red Deer, 
but in most specimens the bez tine is longer than the brow tine, unlike 
the usual growth of Red Deer horns. 
HEIGHT at shoulder—One shot in Kashmir by Lieut.-Col. Wade- 
Dalton measured 51 inches. 
Distribution.—The Kashmir Valley throughout the pine forests between 
about 9000 and 12,000 feet in summer, lower in winter. Not 
found east or north of Kashmir; a few occur in Wardwan, Kishtwar, 
Badrawar, etc., none in Ladak (W. T. Blanford).
