46 THE RED DEER OF EXMOOR. 



Hinds are not killed in the same season as stags, 

 but in the winter, when, of course, they have lost 

 much weight, a fair-sized hind in January should 

 weigh from loolb. to i2olb. ; but the weather, and 

 particularly the prevalence of snow, causes much 

 variation.
