Type localiii/. — Glenquoich Forest, Inverness-shire, Scotland. 



Geographical distribution. — Great Britain ; limits of range 

 not known. 



Characters. — Like Cervus elaphus atlantirus but colour darker 

 and less grey. 



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



Specimens examined. — Eighteen, from the following localities : Balma- 

 caan, Inverness, Scotland, 2 ; Island of Jura, Scotland, 5 ; Fort William, 

 Lochaber, Scotland, 1 ; Loch Sunart, Argyllshire, 1 ; Jura, Ardgour, Argyll- 

 shire, 2 ; Northumberland, 1 ; Woburn Abbey, Bedfordshire, 1 ; Exmoor, 

 Devon, 1; England, no exact locality, 4. 



BemarTcs. — The status of the British form of Red Deer is 

 not well understood. The cranial characters mentioned by 

 Lonnberg, as distinguisbing the animal from atlanticus, are 

 inconstant, but there appears to be an appreciable difference 

 in colour between the two races.
