Hab. Point Cooper, on the north-eastern coast of Australia. 
Remark.—Nearly allied to H. thetidis, but differing from that 
species in being of a somewhat larger size, in the more rufous 
colouring of the fur, particularly of that clothing the hind limbs, and 
in having a broad brand-like mark of buff on each haunch. 
For the discovery of this new species we are indebted to the re- 
searches of Mr. John Macgillivray. The typical specimen is now in 
the British Museum. 
3. Nore ON THE JAPANESE DEER LIVING IN THE SOCIETY’S 
Menacerisz. By Paruie Lurvey Scxuater, M.A., SECRE- 
TARY TO THE SOCIETY. 
I venture to call particular attention to one out of several im- | 
portant additions made to the Menagerie since the last meeting for 
scientific business. 
A pair of a very beautiful small species of Deer, quite new to the 
collection, were presented to the Society in July last by J. Wilks, 
Esq. They were obtained at Kanegawa, in Japan, and brought 
to this country by Captain D. Rees, of the ship ‘Sir F. Williams.’
