GEOGRAPHICAL FORMS OF THE PANOLIA DEER. 367 



Hah. — Ruby ^Mines District, Upper Burma. Type from Thim- 

 baung-gwin Plain. 



T,/^,<.._01cl male slaiU and horns. B. M. No. 17.7.8.17. Shot 

 by the late C. W. A. Bruce, Esq. Presented by Mrs. Manby. 



The fact that the district from which these two skulls come is 

 a considerable distance from the type locality of any described 

 form, and that they are qiiite like each other, the different curvature 

 of their main beams, the bent up brow-tines, unlike those so charac- 

 teristic of the present group, and the lesser development of the 

 lacrymal ridges, taken together, appear to justify the distinction of 

 the Ruby Mines Thamin as a special subspecies. This I have much 

 pleasure in dedicating to the fine sportsman who discovered it, 

 Mr. 0. W. A. Bruce, to whose widow the National Museum is 

 indebted for the specimens.
