OF DEER. 303 



The deer make their abode all day in the 

 valleys, and on high mountains and hills, 

 >vhere they may see round about them afar 

 off for prevention of danger, being very ti- 

 morous ; and at night-time, when all things are 

 quiet and still, they resort to the corn-fields 

 for food and relief. 



Lastly, Let me speak somewhat of the at- 

 tire of deer, red or fallow : the round roll 

 next the head is called the burr ; the main 

 horn, the beam ; the lowest antler, the brow 

 antler ; next above thereunto, bizantlers ; next 

 above that, the royal ; and the upper part of 

 all, the surroyal top ; in the buck it is thus, 

 the burr, beam, braunch, advancers, palm, 

 and spellers. If the croches on the top grow 

 in the form of a man's hand, it is then called 

 9, palmed head ; heads bearing not above 

 three or four, the croches being placed aloft 

 all of one height, are called heads of so many 

 croches ; heads having doubling croches are 

 called forked heads, because the croches are 

 planted on the beam like forks.
