XIX. An account of a stag's head and horns, found at Alport, in the parish of Youlgreave, in the county of Derby. In a letter from the Rev. Robert Barker, B.D. to John Jebb, M.D. F.R.S

About five years ago, some men working in a quarry of hat kind of stone which in this part of the country we call tuft, at about five or six feet below the surface, in a very solid part of the rock, met with several fragments of the horns and bones of one or different animals. Amongst the rest, out of a large piece of the rock, which they got entire, there appeared the tips of three or four horns, projecting a few inches from it, and the scapula of some animal adhering to the outside of it. A friend of mine, to whom the quarry belongs, sent the piece of the rock to me in the state they got it, in which I let it remain for some time.
