Heads of 33 inches and below this measurement in length are too numer- 
ous to mention. It need scarcely be said that mere length of horn, in which 
order it is necessary to catalogue them, does not mean superiority. In 
fact, a head such as the Kinlochewe ten -pointer, 35^ -inch length and 
38|-inch inside span, is a far finer specimen than the 41 -inch Strathglass 
head, which is first on the list. 
It is not difficult to tell the age of Red deer by their teeth until the seventh 
month of the third year. At this age the full complement is obtained, and 
afterwards the only change which takes place is that the crowns wear 
and the canines darken. In very old stags the molars are often worn quite 
down, and it is not rare to note the absence of the four incisors in the lower 
jaw. Professor H. Nitsche, whose studies of the natural history of deer 
are well known, has, in his “ Studien uber Hirsche,” constructed a table
