No. VIII.— ABNOKMAL SAMBHAR HORN. 



^'I enclose a photograph of an abnormal Sambhar Antler in the possession 

 of E, A. Sweetenham, Esq., of the Somerford Orchard, Ramgarh, Naini Tal 

 District, U. P. He got it from a man at the foot of the Hills and the latter 

 said that the Antler had been picked up in the Bhabar, a tract between 

 the foot of the hills and the lower-lying Terrai further to the South. I 

 liave never seen anything like this type of abnormality. There seems to 

 me hardly any doubt, but that the animal who carried this, or a pair of such 

 Antlers, must have been a Sambhar as the beam and tines are clearly of 

 ■this variety of the stag or deer family.
