(Rusa) frontalis, M‘Clelland, Calcutta Journ. N. H. 1. t.12. f. 1, 
i. 539, ii. t. 13; Sundevall, Pecora, 132. 
Inhabits India. 
General Hardwicke has a drawing of a Deer, the frontal snag of 
the horns very much elongated, and apparently forked: Colonel 
Hamilton Smith made an “improved” drawing from the sketch ; 
and in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society for 1837 I mention 
the species under the name of C. Smithii, p. 48. 
I am now doubtful if the sketch might not have been intended for 
this species or a new one allied to it. 
6. Rucervus, Hodgson; Rusa, sp. H. Smith. 
Horns cylindrical, with an anterior basal branch, and repeatedly 
forked at the tip; muffle large, high, continued to the edge of the 
upper lip below; they have a rather short, thick tail, a shortish face, 
a well-developed crumen, broad rounded ears, covered with hair, and 
narrow compressed hoofs. The fur is formed of rather soft adpressed 
hairs; they have no pale mark on the rump, and are indistinctly 
spotted. The skull has an elongate face, with a large nose-opening, 
and an oblong, rather shallow, suborbital pit. 
1. Rucervus Duvavucetii. The Bawrarya. 
Yellowish brown, without any rump-spot ; back with an indistinct 
dark streak, with a row of white spots on each side ; sides not spotted ; 
hair black, with yellow tips; neck with rather longer hair; throat, 
chest and belly with longer, scattered, greyish white hairs; muzzle 
and front of leg dark ; chin white. Fur in winter dark brown.

* The True Rusas have the upper part of the horns simply forked. 
7. Rusa, H. Smith; Cervus Hippelaphi**, Sundevall. 
They are covered with hard, rigid, very thick hairs ; they are not, 
or only obscurely, spotted ; the horns are placed on a moderately long 
peduncle, have an anterior frontal snag close on the crown, and are 
simply forked at the tip. 
+ The Larger kinds have the hair of the neck elongated, forming 
a kind of mane, at least in the males. 
1. Rusa Aristoreuis. The Samsoo. 
Tail not floccose, brown, rather darker at the end ; blackish brown, 
with the feet, the region of the vent, and a spot over the eyes fulvous. 
Male maned. Young obscurely white spotted (Hodgson).
