It measured from snout to insertion of tail, 5 feet 3 inches; tail, 1 foot; height at withers, 3 feet; circumference of chest, 5 feet; face to insertion of horns, 9-1/2 inches; horns measured on curve, 16 inches.

Twelve rings on horns, and one had a ridge behind, 1/2 inch broad, 1/2 inch high, and tapering up the horn; probably accidental.

Colour: reddish-yellow, dark points in front of foot and on the ears, belly nearly white.

The shell went through from behind the shoulder to the spleen, and burst on the other side, yet he ran 100 yards.

I felt very thankful to the Giver of all good for this meat.
_27th January, 1867._--A set-in rain all the morning, but having meat we were comfortable in the old huts.
