The deer to which the under-mentioned head and skin 

 pertained, wliile living in the Duke of Bedford's park at 

 Woburn, was regarded as a hog-deer. It resembled the 

 Indian hog-deer in the general character of the antlers 

 (somewhat malformed), in the colour and nature of the coat, 

 in the character of the tail, and in the structure of the skull, 

 more especially in the comparative shallowness of the pits 

 for the face-glands and the shape of the upper end of the 

 nasal bones. Jn all these respects the specimen differs from 

 the sambar group.
