good and typical heads as we happened to have within reach.

Ordinary Royals (by which we mean full-grown stags in their 
first prime) average 24 or 25 inches in length of horn. Heads of 
26 to 28 inches belong to rather older beasts which have continued 
to improve. Anything beyond the latter measurement is quite 
exceptional, and is often due, not so much to fair straight length 
of the main beam as to an abnormal development of one of the 
top tines—usually directed backwards. There are, however, 
included in our records two or three examples of long straight 
heads which fairly exceed the 30-inch length.
