MAMMALIA. 217 
rut in December or January and breed in May, whence they 
gestate six months.—Hodgson. 
Do not ascend the mountams.—Ogilby. 
Easily known from the Axis by being lower on its legs, and 
there is no distinct black dorsal streak, nor white streak on 
haunches. The horns are generally short, with only short snags 
or branches, but they are sometimes as large as those of the Aas 
Deer. 
The Cervus Dodur, Royle, Himal. t. 5. f. 1, and Ogilby in 
Royle, i. 73, of the Himalayas, “ of an ashy grey colour, the size 
of the female Antilope Cervicapra, and more graceful than the 
Hog Deer,” is only known from the above description and figure 
of a female. As Hog Deer are said not to ascend the mountains, 
it is probably a distinct species. 
Cervus Pumilio, H. Smith, Griffith A. K. v. n. 788; MeCilel- 
land, P. Z. Soc. 1839, 150, is perhaps only a variety of the Hog 
Deer.
