 orders to keep all horns for his sahib. 



When nearing Tehri again we met a native 

 clerk, a " babu," in the employ of the forestry, I 

 think, who kindly informed us, " There is much 

 deers on the tops; but I, myself, am never went." 



Crossing the lower hills, 8,000 to 10,000 feet 

 only, I had the luck to bag the best gural I ever 

 shot, and we both got some smaller ones. Win- 

 wood came off with the best thar, a magnificent 

 old "^jula." 



No sooner had we reached Mussoorie than the 

 weather cleared up, and the once more far-distant 

 snows smiled serenely at us.
