VII. CONCLUSION. 



This must take the form of the acknowledgment of the large amount of help 

 which I have received. 



To the National Museum of Ireland, Dublin, through Mr. A. W. Stelfox, I am 

 greatly indebted for the loan of a large collection of notes, pamphlets and illustra- 

 tions which Dr. R. F. Scharff had assembled when in charge of the collection. To 

 Mr. Stelfox I am also indebted for much personal help in the Museum. 



Captain W. W. Otter has most kindly helped in every way in the examination of 

 the collection made by the late Sir Edmund Loder, Bart., and now at Selehurst, 

 Horsham. I have to thank him for permission to figure three pairs of antlers from 

 Selehuvst, Lord Castletown for those at Granston Manor, Ballacolla, and Mr. J. 

 Purefoy-Poe those at Harley Park, Callan. 



The Curators of nearly a-1 the chief museums of the British Isles together 

 with Dr. Revilliol of Geneva. Dr. Wysogorski of Hamburg and Dr. K. Hescheler 

 of Zurich, have kindly replied to inquiries concerning the specimens under their 

 respective charge, and Dr. F. Corner has lent me specimens from his collection. Messrs. 

 W. Williams & Son, of Dublin, the only exporters of Irish Giant Deer, have allowed me 

 to reproduce several photographs taken prior to the specimens leaving their establish- 

 ment. Dr. F. Krantz, of Bonn, to whom many of Messrs. Williams's specimens were 

 sold, has most kindly informed me as to their present whereabouts. Dr. Barnum 

 Brown has given me information about specimens in American museums. 



Sir Sidney Harmer, Dr. K. Frentzen, Dr. K. Hescheler, Dr. H. Pohlig and Dr. 

 W. Soei^el have all allowed me to reproduce illustrations from papers by them. 



Mr. C. Davies Sherborn and Mr. B. H. Soulsby have most kindly helped me with 

 many points connected with the bibliography. 



Miss D. M. A. Bate, of the Natural History Museum, South Kensington, and Sir 

 Arthur Smith Woodward, have helped me much in various ways. But above all I 

 have to thank Dr. R. F. Scharff, our chief authority on the Irish Giant Deer, who has 

 taken the keenest interest in the progress of this monograph. I cannot overstate my 

 indebtedness to him. 



Mr. James Green has once more placed his artistic skill at my disposal in the 

 preparation of the plates and many of the figures, while for the drawings of the Dublin 

 specimens I am indebted to Miss E, E, Barnes,
