Color. — General color of upper parts dull cinnamon rufous, dark- 

 est along the broad median line and becoming paler on the sides; 

 middle of face, top of head and upper side of neck, blackish; cheeks 

 and under side of neck drab gray; chest and anterior part of abdo- 

 men near cinnamon or fawn color; chin, throat and posterior part of 

 abdomen, white, this color extending a short distance down inner 

 side of thighs; ears dusky, except a huffy spot mar edge of anterior 

 base ; supraorbital area, including lateral border of frontal tufts, 

 rusty reddish ; a white spot on upper lip near rhinarium as usual in 

 the group; feet drab brownish; tail, cinnamon rufous above, white 

 below. 



Skull. — Size slightly larger than that of .1/. /. tenia; frontal and 

 parietal regions broader; audital bullae smaller; foramen ovale more 

 elongated; lachrymal depressions and dentition about the same. Ap- 

 proaching in size that of M. pandora ; frontal region similarly broad, 

 but more inflated near posterior border of nasals ; rostrum narrower, 

 the maxillae less swollen outward ; lachrymals less broadly depressed ; 

 squamosal arm of zygoma with superior border more everted ; fora- 

 men ovale more elongated ; audital bullae decidedly smaller. 



Measurements. — Type: Total length, 1,114 millimeters ; tail verte- 

 bra?, 130. Skull (type) : Greatest length, 185; condylobasal length, 

 175.7 ; zygomatic breadth, 81.2; nasals, 59.5; interorbital breadth, 

 41; palatal length, 107.4; maxillary toothrow, 50.2; upper pre- 

 molars, 23.4. 



Remarks. — The type specimen is a rather young male with very 

 short antlers, but with permanent dentition in place and slightly 

 worn. Another specimen, also a male, is much younger. They 

 appear to represent a rather well marked form related to ,1/. tenia 

 as shown by comparison with seven Mexican specimens of the latter. 

 Five of these are from Mirador, Vera Cruz, the type locality of 

 Cervus sartorii Saussure, a name now regarded as synonymous with 

 Manama tenia Rafinesque. Upper canines are present in one of the 

 Mirador specimens, a young male with the third upper molars not 

 yet in place. M. pandora possesses very distinctive characters, but 

 is apparently a member of the same group. Besides the pallid color- 

 ation and cranial peculiarities, the type and a specimen fromApazote, 

 Campeche, lack of the usual hair whorl near the middle of the face, 

 and the hair is directed upward from an indistinct whorl very near 

 the upper border of the rhinarium. A specimen of Manama bricenii 

 Thomas from the high mountains near Merida. Venezuela, has much 

 longer pelage and is very different in color, the entire face, including
