The FORMOSAN SIKA (Cervus [Pseudaxis] taévanus). 
Nearly allied to the typical sika, but distinctly spotted in winter, 
when the coat retains more or less of the rufous summer-tinge. The 
dark line down the middle of the back is very strongly marked, there 
is a more distinct black bar above the white tail-patch, and the limbs 
are shorter and the body proportionately longer. The height at the 
shoulder is about 2 feet 11 inches. This species is confined to the 
mountains of the island of Formosa.
