Tyj'C localitij. — Spain, exact locality not known.* 



Geographical distribution. — Iberian Peninsula, limits of range 

 unknown. 



Diagnosis. — Size apparently less than in Cervns elaplms 

 scoticiis ; colour decidedly more greyish ; skull narrower, 

 particularly in interorbital and palatal regions. 



Measurements. — For cranial measurements see Table, p. 982. 



Hemarhs. — The Red Deer of Spain are divided by Cabrera 

 into a smaller southern race (Jiisjianicns) and a larger central 

 and northern race (bolivari). At present the evidence seems 

 inconclusive, though the cranial measurements (p. 982) tend 

 to indicate the presence of two forms. 



Specimens examined. — Pour, from Goto Donana, Huelva, Spain, and 

 two from Pinares de Quintanar, Burgos, Spain (U.S.N.M.).

* Dr. Hilzheimer informs me that the only clue to the history of the 

 type is the fact that a pair of roebuck antlers in the Stuttgart collection 

 was taken by the same collector in Estremadura. 



t Polybius (xii, cap. iii) states that the stag is not native to Corsica. 

 (The Histories of Polybius translated by Evelyn S. Shuckburgh, ii, p. 80).
