3595. The calvarium and antlers of a Hog-deer (Cervus porcinus). 



The antlers measure, from the burr, fourteen inches in length : they are raised on short 

 pedicles covered by the ordinary skin. The brow-snag springs from the beam above the burr 

 at an acute angle, and the point is slightly inclined inwards. The beams of the two antlers 

 slightly diverge outwards and backwards as they ascend, and at one-third from their summits 

 bend inwards, and send off a slender branch, which inclines inwards and backwards. The 

 entire length of this species of Deer, from the nose to the tail, is four feet eight inches. 



It is from the Tarrai, at the foot of the Kemaon mountains, and is also found in Assam.
