This species does not, on the east side of the Rocky Mons: 
tains, range further north than latitude 54°, nor is it found m 
that parallel to the eastward of the 105th degree of longitude. 
Mr. Douglas states, “It is the most common Deer in the di- 
strict adjoming the River Columbia, more especially on the 
fertile prairies of the Cowalidske and Multnornah rivers, within 
100 miles of the Pacific Ocean.” 
In running the tail is erect, wagging from side to side. Its 
gait is two ambling steps and a bound exceeding double the di- 
stance of the steps.— Richardson. 
Dr. Richardson described a female killed in February as fawn- 
coloured, mixed with black; tail fawn-coloured, white at the tip 
and beneath. Mr. Douglas, however, described the upper part 
of the animal as reddish brown in summer, and changing to light 
grey in winter; so his animal may be a different species. 
Skull elongate, narrow. Face rather produced, tapering, flat- 
tened on the sides. Intermaxillars rather broad, not reaching to 
the nasal bones, and fitting into a notch in the front upper edge of 
the maxilla. Infraorbital pit moderate ; fissure very large, trian- 
gular, open. Nasals, each notched in the middle of the fronts. 
Male: length entire 11 inches; from front of orbit to nose 6; 
width at lower edge of orbit 42; of nose just before first erinder 
132; of skull 35. 
Female: length entire 9§ inches; from front of orbit to nose 53; 
width at lower edge of orbit 3383; upper side of orbit 33; of 
nose just before first grinder eke 3 of skull 24; suborbital pit 
rather smaller than in the male. 
A male and female in winter dress, from Fort Colville on the - 
Columbia River, were sent by the Hudson’s Bay Company to the 
Museum May 26, 1843: they arrived without hair or skin.
