In all its states it was very distinct from the Samboo of Continental 

 India. The horns are similar to those of R. Equinus, but the body 

 and horns are smaller, and the hair of the young is smoother. 



** The Smaller Rusas have no mane ; the peduncles of the horns 

 are rather elongated, and covered with hair.

Brown, paler beneath ; hair rigid, thick, ringed ; muzzle dark ; tail 

 brown, floccose ; anal disk white; the hind part of the feet hairy; 

 the horns are thick and heavy.

This species has the horn on an elongated peduncle, like the Munt-

 ridge and of the grooves on the face.

" Reddish brown ; back and sides varied with pale, spotted hair ; 

 vent disk small, white, black edged above ; tail longly hairy, white, 

 above black ; face brown, with a roundish white spot in front of the 

 usual oval black spot ; horns smooth, slender, nearly straight, elon- 

 gate, the basal snag bent down on the forehead." — Sundevall.
