hinds in February, the stags being in high ground, and the hinds chiefly in low ground. I have no doubt whatever, that since 1884, when we received increasing* 58 a neavv blow the bodies of 48 dead stags having been found since 1884. the stock of Forest stags has been steadily increasing, and that at the present time the increase has become larger yearly. Our careful, and we think very successful count of 1889, confirms this. Up to and including 1884 the Forest stags were, I believe, decreasing. 47 stags died in 1882. Was Husk the cause of the heavy mortality of 1884 and 1882 ? At the worst period, 1884, the Forest stags appear to have fallen nearly 100 below our starting point, 1878, at the present Great increase time the stock appears to be about 100 larger than ever. The increase of hornless animals, hinds, knobbers and calves, is so large as to be easily noticed at a glance. Our two counts of Hinds and Spring 1879, we counted 869 hornless animals in Forest. Spring 1890, we counted 1429 hornless animals in Forest. This is an increase of 560, or 64 per cent, on Forest in n years. We believe the animals counted 1879, consisted of about what is stated below, the 1879 count being only an unclassed census of hornless animals. 1879 Count 579 hinds (i year old and more). 218 calves. 72 knobbers. 869 1890 Count 957 hinds (counted separately).
