240 MAMMALIA. 
There is a female of this species in the Gardens of the So- 
ciety ; it greatly resembles the Indian Muntjac in the distribu- 
tion of its colour. 
In the British Museum there are two skulls which belong to 
the species of this division. They have the face shorter and 
thicker than the skull of C. nemorivagus, and the nasals are wider 
behind; the suborbital pit small or less compressed, and the 
grinders larger. ‘The first belongs to a young specimen in the 
Museum Collection apparently of C. rufus; it has a small, slightly 
impressed pit just in front of the edge of the orbit. The second 
belongs to a more adult female, without any skin, sent from Para 
by Mr. Reginald Graham ; it is considerably larger than the pre- 
ceding, and there is scarcely any visible impression im front of 
the orbit, only a slight concavity of the general surface.
