MISCELLANEOUS NOTES.

The small photograph is that of the so-called "unicorn" sheep. These 

 sheep are "Barwals" and are really two horned sheep which have been 

 converted into a one horned variety. 



The Prime Minister has sent me the result of the enquiries instituted by 

 him. The report is that to make the unicorns, the lambs when about 2 or 3 

 months old are branded with red-hot irons where the horns are sprouting. 

 This prevents the horns from growing in the usual places and induces them 

 to come out joined together from the top of the skull.
