RUMINATING ANIMALS. 



Eleven species of Ruminantia, animals that chew the 

 Cud, are known in the Provinces; and it is not probable 

 that any remain to be discoverd. 



CHEVROTAIN. 



This little deer, about the size of a large hare, is often 

 seen crossing the traveller's path in the interior ; but it 

 is by no means so abundant as at Penang, where a dozen 

 may be obtained for a dollar. According to Linnaeus, it 

 is a species of the same genus as the musk deer, but it is 

 not known to produce musk.

BARKING DEER. 



The barking deer is more abundant and more univers- 

 ally diffused over the Provinces than any other species 

 It is seen occasionally on the hill back of Maulmain, and 

 often in the suburbs of Tavoy. It is very appropriately 

 named, for its bleat, which is constantly heard in the jun^ 

 gles after night fall, is very like the barking of a dog.
