The causes ■which affect the fauna of Chusan have been no- 

 ticed in the preceding pages, and -we may, from these, infer its 

 poverty in variety of forms. It has been asserted that scarcely 

 any large wild beasts are found in the Chinese empire ; a 

 dense population, which may be said to be par excellence 

 agricultural, would a priori corroborate this opinion. At Chu- 

 san, which is comparatively a young colony, deer*, which 

 were plentiful in Mr. Cunningham's time, are at present en- 

 tirely unknown. Over-population cannot admit of the co-ex- 



* It may as well be mentioned that two fine deer, Cervwt Axis, of which 

 the Chinese are very fond, were brought in 1840 in a junk from Formosa 

 to Chusan. One of thent, which I kept, died in the commencement of No- 

 vember, aj)t)arci;tly from the vicissitudes of the weather.
