Cervus campestris is exceedingly abundant, often in small 
herds, throughout the countries bordering the Plata and in North- 
em Patagonia. If a person crawling close along the ground 
slowly advances towards a herd, the deer, frequently out of cu- 
riosity, approach to reconnoitre him. I have by this means killed 
from one spot three out of the same herd. Although so tame 
and inquisitive, yet when approached on horseback they are ex- 
ceedingly wary. At Bahia Blanca, a recent establishment in 
Northern Patagonia, I was surprised to find how little the deer 
care for the noise of a gun. An overpoweringly strong and of- 
fensive odour proceeds from the buck; it is quite indescribable ; 
several times while skimning a specimen I was almost overcome 
by nausea. I tied up the skin im a silk pocket-handkerchief and 
so carried it home. This handkerchief, after bemg well washed, 
I continually used, and it was of course as repeatedly washed, yet
