We will therefore take the fertility of 100 hinds, one year old and 

 upwards, to be 30 calves per year, alive in Feb. We will take the 

 death of calves at 20 per cent., except in such years as they exceed 

 20 per cent, in Forest. For those years we will adopt Forest 

 mortality. We will take the yearly deaths of hinds at 6 per 

 cent., and be ruled by Forest mortality when it is above 6 per 

 cent. We will take the stags' deaths at 6 per cent, and be 

 ruled by Forest rate when that exceeds 6 per cent. We add 

 half a stag yearly for shooting accidents. Ninety-one stags were 

 counted 1880, also 324 deer without horns. 



We will call the Spring stock of 1880 91 stags ... 91 

 226 hinds, 26 knobbers, 72 calves ... ... ... 324 



Total 



In the following Table each year's stock of Hinds is made up 

 of those surviving and the Calves of the previous year.
