Measurements. — Full grown males average height at shoulder, 35 ins.; average 
horn measurement, 22 ins. ; basal girth, 11 ins ; female horns are considerably 
smaller in all, dimensions. 
Record Heads.—In bygone days heads of over 30 ins. were occasionally 
met with, but in the present year of grace a 26 in. head is something to be proud 
of. Ancient records tell of specimens of 32 ins. In 1884 “Another K. 0. B. ” 
sent to an Indian paper details of a head that measured 30J ins. and 
271 ins. left and right horns respectively, and Col. AV ard mentions one that 
was picked up in Ladak and measured 27 ins. Mr. E. R. Neave, o s. and 
Mr. A. P. Davis of Gurhwal have secured heads of 25 ins. and upwards. 
There is a very fine head in the Indian Museum which measures 28^ ins. 
by lOJ ins. .
