and rather more divergent from each other than the first pair ; 
in colour resembling those of the Goat. 
There is in Deer a curly tuft of hair. on the outside of the 
limb near the upper head of the metatarsus. In this animal it 
is wanting; but as the hair has been nearly all rubbed away 
from the.knees on ship-board, it is possible that these tufts may 
have shared the same fate. 
'l'he fore-hoofs, of which the outermost are nearly a third 
longer than the inner ones, are larger and of a coarser character 
than those of the hinder feet. 
The tongue appears to have unusual powers of projection, as 
in licking the face it may be seen reaching far above the eyes.

| SIR, pr Street, Sept. $5, 1897. 
THE jani Antilope died about the 20th of last month, 
and his skeleton is now among the treasures of the College 
Museum. I am induced, and am enabled by these circum- 
stances, to add a few partigntars to the paper that accompanied 
the drawings. | 
A comparison of the horns borne by the subject of the present 
consideration, with those before in the College Museum, will 
perhaps warrant a conjecture that it may have its varieties. 
The skulls are nearly of the same size, and exactly agree in 
character; there are also the same three annulate ridges (con- 
cealed by hair i in the living animal) at the bases of the horns ;
