RECORDS OF BIG GAME 



Skull and Antlers of extinct Giant Irish Deer (Irish Elk). 



GIANT IRISH DEER (Cervus [?Dama] giganteus). 

 (Commonly called " Irish Elk.") 



A huge deer, probably standing at least 6 feet at the shoulder, 

 with the antlers enormously expanded, and carrying several large tines 

 on the front border, of which the one above the trez is the longest ; the 

 brow-tine being often flattened and forked. In its typical form this 

 magnificent deer occurs in the prehistoric deposits of Ireland, England, 

 and probably some of the western districts of the Continent. In the 

 skull the vomer is welded to the adjacent bones.
