REVIEW. 543 



40^ (round curve). Thebest Chinkara is 14| inclies, but Mr. Ward 

 notes '^ owner's measurements" ; 13| comes next ; only two measure, 

 ments of females are given, viz., 7g inches and4| inches. 



An animal, which Mr. Ward calls "Arnce" for some reason, is only 

 a Buffalo under an incognito. A single horn at the British Museum 

 measured 77|.inches, along way ahead of the next measurement which 

 is 65 1 in., and one cow is given 58 1 inches ; it would have been interest- 

 ing if some measurements of the Domestic Buffalo had been given. 

 The best bison is 33f inches. The book closes with various tiger 

 measurements. Wo have omitted to note the best pig tusks, viz., 

 10 inches outside the curve. 



We do not know the price of the book, but from its appearance 

 expect that it is rather exiDensive. We think that if Mr. Ward had 

 brought out a small and cheap book, it would have been probably 

 more useful, and would have been a suitable addition to one's shikar 

 kit ; but Mr. Ward's clients doubtless are chiefl}'- sportsmen who 

 hunt on magnificent lines, with lacs of rupees and tons of kit, like 

 the latest expedition to devastate Somali land, and the ordinary 

 Indian sportsman with an SO lb. tent and a few depreciated rupees 

 is more or less unknown to hiin.
