The finest pair of antlers of which Mr. A. O. Hume has any record 

 was given by Raja Gulab Sing to Colonel King, then commanding 

 the 1 4th Hussars. On his death they passed to Captain Prettyjohn 

 of the same regiment. What became of these antlers Mr. Hume was 

 never able to ascertain, but he measured them at Meerut in 1852 or 

 1853, and the record stands, R. 52, L. 53^-, measured along the curve 

 inside. Girth 10 inches at burr, and 7 half-way between bez and trez 

 tines. They were a very wide-branching, symmetrical pair.
