Nat. XI, p. 559, December, 1911 (El Pardo, Madrid, Spain). Type 



in Madrid Museum. 



Ti/jje locality. — Spain, exact locality not known.* 



Geographical (listrihution. — Iberian Peninsula, limits of range 

 unknown. 



Diagnosis. — Size apparently less than in Cervus elaphus 

 scoticus ; colour decidedly more greyish ; skull narrower, 

 particularly in interorbital and palatal regions. 



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



Bemarks. — The Red Deer of Spain are divided by Cabrera 

 into a smaller southern race (Impanicus) and a larger central 

 and northern race (bolivari). At present the evidence seems 

 inconclusive, though the cranial measurements (p. 982) tend 

 to indicate the presence of two forms. 



Specimens examined. — Four, from Goto Donana, Huelva, Spain, and 

 two from Pinares de Quintanar, Burgos, Spain (U.S.N.M.).

Type locality. — Corsica. 



Geographical distribution. — Corsicaf and Sardinia. 



Diagnosis. — Size about as in Cervus elaphus hispanicus (height 



* Dr. Hilzheimer informs mo that the only clue to the history of the 

 type is the fact that a pair of roebuck antlers in the Stuttgart collection 

 was taken by the same collector in Estremadura. 



t Polybius (xii, cap. in) states that the stag is not native to Corsica.
