Caton, p. 4GS, says, "As soon as tlie deer reached camp I selected a 

 fair specimen, a buck, which I judged to be four years old, and prepared 

 the skin and necessary parts of the skeleton for mounting. This I subse- 

 quently sent to the Smithsonian Institution. Professor Baird has expressed 

 much interest about it, and assured me that it would be mounted and 

 added to the collection of American quadrupeds at the Centennial [E.xposl- 

 tion, Philadelphia, 1876], when those who take an interest in these studies 

 may examine and compare it with others." Si>ecimen killed March 22, 1876, 

 probably.
