"contains an oval opening towards its lower edge, the long diameter of
which is parallel to the length of the rib, its margin is depressed on
the outer and raised on the inner surface; round which there is an
irregular effusion of callus.... In fact, such a wound as would be
produced by the head of an arrow remaining in the wound after the shaft
had broken off."--Hart's _Memoir_, p. 29.
There are in the Museum of Trinity College, Dublin, a very complete and
interesting series of {122} antlered skulls of this animal. Should W. R. C.
or any other reader of "NOTES AND QUERIES," desire further information on
this subject, I will gladly, if in my power, afford it.

_Coverdale Bible_ (Vol. iii., p. 54.).--Your correspondent ECHO is quite
right in declaring Mr. Granville Penn's statement, that Coverdale used
Tyndale's _New Test_. in his Bible of 1535, to be quite wrong. Mr. Penn
very probably took his statement from the Preface to D'Oyley and Mant's
Bible, as published by the Christian Knowledge Society, which contains a
very erroneous account of the earliest English versions.
Tyndale's version of the New Testament was not incorporated in any version
of the whole Bible till the publication of what is called Matthewe's Bible
in 1537.
For more particular statements confirmed by proofs, your correspondent may
consult Anderson's _Annals of the English Bible_, under the dates of the
respective editions, or his appendix to vol. ii., pp. viii., ix.; or Mr.
Pearson's biographical notice of Coverdale, prefixed to the Parker Soc.
edit. of his _Remains_; or the biographical notice of Tyndale, prefixed to
the Parker Soc. edit. of his Works, pp. lxxiv., lxxv.; or _Two Letters to
Bishop Marsh on the Independence of the Authorised Version_, published for
me by Hatchard in 1827 and 1828.
