 zone. I reached the hotel on Grand Lake late that afternoon, 

 and two nights later, on the Bruce, I left the misty shore-line 

 of Newfoundland behind. The measurements of the three 

 largest sets of antlers secured on this trip, which were typical 

 heads of Newfoundland caribou, and of the one very unusual 

 set of antlers which was picked up, were as follows: 



The antlers of No. 3 were not measured in the woods, and 

 as it was very late in the season when this bull w^as shot they 

 were shed in the natural manner after the head had been 

 mounted. This is a very unusual occurrence. It prevented 

 an accurate measurement of the widest outside spread being 

 taken, as it was impossible to replace the antlers in the same 

 relative positions which they formerly occupied on the head 

 of the living caribou.
