and Kamchatka. Others went to the Liverpool Museum. Both museums had already received numerous other trophies over the years as well as quantities of birds and the mammals included many record heads. After Littledale died, the Natural History Museum selected 94 additional trophies from about 150 that filled his home, Wick Hill House in Bracknell, Berkshire. In Big Game Shooting Records, published the following year, Edgar Barclay wrote: "As a hunter of big game in the Northern Hemisphere, the name of Littledale must surely stand alone. His success in this sphere has never I think been equalled, most certainly never surpassed." A memorial to Littledale appeared in the Geographical Journal. It was written by Sir Francis Younghusband, symbol of British exploration in Central Asia and of the Great Game. He wrote: "...his name has never been so well known as his achievements entitled it to be. And perhaps the fact that he took his wife with him on all his three great journeys predisposed people to think they could not have been very adventurous or arduous. . . . And as a fact, every one of their journeys would nowadays be considered an accomplishment of note." Records of Big Game Some of Littledale's trophies still rank high on the list of Rowland Ward's Records of big game. As for the 28th edition, 13 of the 19 heads of Caucasian Chamois recorded were hunted by Litteldale, including the 2nd and 3rd largest. His Nilgiri Tahr still ranks 1st in the list, hunted at Nilgiris, India in 1898. He also holds the 1st and 2nd largest Dagaestan Tur trophies and other 4 ranking in the list. Among other trophies listed in the record book are the Tian Shan Ibex (32nd), Altai Argali (14th), Rocky Mountain Big Horn Sheep, Kamchatka Snow Sheep, Yak, European Bison, Pronghorn.
