Type in the Museum of the St. Petersburg (Petrograd) 

 Academy of Sciences. 



Of the approximate size of C. eashmiriensis. Distinguished 

 from all the other members of the subgenus by the reversal 

 of the coarse hair of the withers, to form a kind of hump, 

 and the white muzzle, chin, under surface of lower jaw, and 

 inside of ears, as well by the low position and large size of 

 the gland-tuft on the hind-shanks. Antlers much flattened, 

 nearly white in colour, without a bez-tine, and bending 

 suddenly backwards at origin of third tine, which is the 

 longest.
