No. 15, as far as we know, is the record head for amateur sportsmen

in point of length.

No. 16 has very heavy massive antlers; though these are not so long

as the antlers of No. 17, yet No. 16 is really the finer head.

In Buxton's catalogue the three finest heads measure respectively 8

inches in girth by 62-1/2 inches in length by 48-1/2 inches spread, with

7+9 points; and 7-7/8 inches in girth by 60-3/4 inches in length by 52

inches spread, with 6+6 points; and 8-1/2 inches in girth by 55 inches

in length by 41-1/4 spread, with 6+6 points.

These are also the biggest heads given in Ward's catalogue.
