bad for spying, so 579 may be very near the real number of hinds (i year old and above), as of course we missed seeing part of them. Those who made the count are of this opinion. Again, as we had splendid weather for 1890 Spring counts, we Second Count are pretty sure no two-year-old stags are in it, and we know there jggg stock, are more than 957 hinds in the Forest. I believe the above series of hinds is near the actual truth. If we make out a birth table of calves reared, as regulated by our death lists, which were very heavy for several early years, we obtain by the best of our calculation and judgment, the following table of stags in Forest, two years' old and upwards, and we also quote the counts. We believe in July, 1878, there were about 525 stags in the Forest. - YEAR. 1878 525 1879 1880 1881 461 1882 444 1883 458 1884 429
