A malformed deer-head is on view at the Christchureh Tourist Office, its principal deformity being that the right antler starts from a spot in the skull almost where the eye should be, and the eye is quite close under the horn. The left antler has five points, and the right only two. The deer was shot by Mr. F. S. Steffan. stalker's guide, of Wairarapa, who saw it in a big gorge near the head of the Ahuriri River, in Central Otago. Mr. Steffan, who was on a trip to see the country, shot several other malforms as well. It was very late in the season, and the weather was very rough, and for four days he was snowed up in bis camp.
