These animals are very different from the dull-coloured 
barking-deer of Tenasserim, J. m. grandicornis Lydekker, as re- 
presented by examples from Victoria Point. They most nearly 
resemble specimens of J. m penimsulae Lydekker, from Perak, 
Malay States, which isa brightly coloured form (typical locality, 
Pangkor Id, Dindings). 
Compared with the latter the apparent differences are :—in 
the Siamese examples the sides of the face, forehead, occiput and 
pelicels are much paler (more buffy, less rufous); the meck and 
shoulders are more ochraceous (less tinged with brown), and. the 
median dorsal line not quite so deep a shade of rufous and not black- 
speckled ; the lower parts of the hindlegs are a little darker in front 
and the feet are also darker, while the underbody is more fulvous 
and less tinged with brown. Whitish patches above the hoofs, a 
feature of common occurrence, are exhibited by both specimens. 
To Siamese antlers from Petchabun, Central Siam, the nawe 
curvostylis was given by Gray; but material in collections is so 
scanty and imperfect that we do not know what the characters of 
typical animals are,
