It uses its horns with great effect when brought to bay, 

 and according to a Karen fable, the tiger will not attack 

 it. In ancient times, the story goes, when all animals 

 had the power of speech, the tiger said to the barking 

 deer, " O ! barking deer, what is the use of thy horns f 

 It seems to me they would be in my way." The barking 

 deer answered : "A single push of my horns will make the 

 eye of my antagonist start from its socket." On hearing 

 this the tiger was afraid, and never after attempted to de- 

 vour the barking deer.

HOG DEER, 



This species appears to be confined to the plains. It 

 abounds north and east ofMaulmam, and on the large 

 islands south of Tavoy ; but it is not found north of the 

 city, nor eastward among the hills, nor in the valley of 

 the Tenasserim. 



They are often hunted by persons in companies after 

 dark, who go into the plains where they are found, beating 

 tin kettles, and ringing bells, and gongs, which is said to 

 bring ihe animals to a stand with astonishment, so that the 

 huntsman can walk up, and shoot them at bis conveni- 

 ence.
