 [At page 46 of Vol. II of the Journal will be found a plate figruring- two abnor- 

 mal Sambhar heads which were some 28 years ag^o in the outer court of the Jeypore 

 Museum. Mr. E- A. Sterndale in referring to these heads mentioned their resem- 

 blance to the Kashmir stag (Cervus kashmirianus) and we think members will 

 agree that the similarity is also apparent in the head figured above by Mrs. CufEe. —
