but it is a beauty, very rough, of exceptional shape, beautiful coronets, and length 9I inches, 
and Snowie of Inverness, from whom it was bought, considered it the best head that ever 
passed through his hands. 
2. Ballindalloch Castle (Sir George Macpherson Grant).—Sir George has not many heads, 
but they include three remarkably fine normal ones, whose measurements are respectively—

and a single dropped horn quite unique in its way. I give a careful drawing of this example, 
which gives the reader a better idea than any verbal explanation. Without doubt, had there 
A REMARKABLE DROPPED ANTLER WITH UNUSUAL NUMBER OF POINTS 
been a pair of horns of the same buck it would be quite as remarkable as the great Lissadell 
head, for the single horn is splendid in every other respect besides the extraordinary number 
of points. It was found in the woods near Ballindalloch, and the owner noticed it one day 
when paying a visit to one of his crofters. 
3. Altyre House , Forres (Sir William Gordon-Cumming).—Apart from the Roualeyn 
Gordon-Cumming collection, there are several first-class heads that have been shot of late 
years by the owner and his friends; but having no sketch of any exceptional Altyre head 
now in that house, I give the portrait of a very fine typical specimen in my own collection. 
It was killed on that estate in 1889 (p. 209). 
4. Forres House (Colonel Gordon-Cumming).—There are only about half-a-dozen heads 
1 The left point has been broken off and another put on. This head cannot therefore be considered a perfect one.
