10. ELAPHUEUS. 



Tail elongate, cylindrical, bushy at the end. Antlers cylindrical, 

 with a posterior, elongated, subhasal branch, sometimes divided at 

 the end ; an elongated submedian posterior branch, and sometimes 

 some small posterior apical snags. Crumen small ; skull with a large 

 suborbital pit. (A. Milne-Edwards, Archives du Museum, p. 26, 

 t. 4-6, 1866 ; Trans. Zool. Soc. vii. p. 835. f. 1, 2, skuU and horns.) 



" The general aspect of the Elaphure is much more like that of the 

 tri;e Cervi than I had anticipated from the description and figure 

 of M. Milne-Edwards. The only two very noticeable points of 

 distinction, besides the horns of the male, which are not at present 

 shown in our animals, are the rather larger, heavier legs, the 

 longer and more expanding toes, and the long tail. The latter cha- 

 racter, however, seems to me to have been somewhat exaggerated 

 in M. Milne-Edwards's figures — the tail in our specimen not nearly 

 reaching the hocks, and, though of somewhat different form, being 

 little, if any, longer than that of the Fallow Deer and some of the 

 American Deer (such as Cervus virr/inianus).'" — Sclater.
