With regard to the colour the old male is darkest which 

 IS quite natural, but then next to him comes the'young 

 adult female, while the two remaining are rather similar 

 inter se, but the young buck (m^ not yet up) is perhaps the 

 palest. 



From Manavi, near sea level Allén has described an- 

 other Broeket, which he has named Mazama fuscata. This is 

 Jarger and darker than M. gualea. As the Jatter, however, 

 varies in colour and also the cranial dimensions of my spe- 

 cimens are intermediate between those recorded for the types 

 of M. gualea and M. fuscata resp. (although my specimens 

 partly are topotypes to M. gualea), it appears most prob- 

 able that these two are identical, which Allén himself to 

 some degree has admitted by saying them to be »represen- 

 tative forms of the same species». 



From Consul Söderström's Communications is apparent 

 that the real home country of M. gualea is the sugar-cane 

 plantations at an altitude of 5-6,000 feet, and then the 

 chmatological difference between this country and the coast 

 district is probably not great enough to prohibit the exi- 

 stence of the same kind of Deer in both places. 



The relation of these Broekets to M. zetta Thomas ' is 

 somewhat uncertain, but the deer from Ecuador appears to 

 have larger teeth and also to be somewhat larger in other 

 respects and less rufous.
