226 MAMMALIA. 
every time, for a space of one year and seven months, when first 
unfolded I distinctly perceived the odour. Frequently when 
passing at the distance of half a mile to the leeward of a herd, I 
have perceived the whole air tainted with the effluvium. I be- 
lieve the smell from the buck is most powerful at the period 
when its horns are perfect and free from the hairy skin; when 
in this state the meat is of course quite uneatable, but the Gau- 
chos assert, that if buried for some time in fresh earth the taint 
is removed.—Darwin, Journal, 49. 
A skull at Haslar has the horns of one side normal, on the 
na (the left one) with the front lower branch elongated and 
orked. 
The figures of C. campestris in F. Cuvier, Man. Lithog., is 
evidently a Cariacus, and not of this genus. 
3. FuRCIFER. 
Horns erect, forked, without any basal snag. Ears narrow, 
acute. Tail short. Fur consisting of thick, rather brittle, waved 
hairs. Skull with a moderate suborbital pit. There is a distinet 
parcel of hairs on the inside of the hock, but none on the outer 
side of the metatarsus. Confined to South America. 
They differ from Capreolus in wanting the tuft of hair on the 
outer side of the hind tarsus.
