( 118 ) 
(Kashmir) by General Rajah Sir Amar Singh : here are its measurements and 
weight.—Height at shoulder 39 ins., length from nose to vent, 68 ins., girth 61 
ins., circumference of collar, 50 ins., tushes 5J ins., weight, 700 lbs.!! 
In January 1907 Mr. Macneil Ferguson, of Berhampore in Bengal, killed 
a very lean, lanky boar that weighed 278 lbs. and stood just 39 inches at the 
shoulder. Major Priestley’s boar, mentioned further on, runs this close in 
height and weighs a good many pounds more. But these pale into insignificance 
beside Sir Amar Singh’s monster. 
I take the following list of weights and measurements from “ Raoul’s’'
