British Deer Heads.

ENGLISH RED DEER. 
The English red deer are all, with one exception, from Exmoor and the 
Quantocks. Heads obtained many years ago do not show superiority to those 
killed during recent years, and, as in other parts, were not regarded as of great 
value. They were nailed up over stables and outhouses, the lower points in some 
instances having been sawn off to facilitate free ingress and egress. Though no 
such head was exhibited, Sir C. Thomas Dyke Acland lent a sixteen-pointer 
killed so far back as 1792.
