SAMBAR 63 
Frontlet and Antlers of Malay Sambar. 
Drawn from a Burmese specimen in the British Museum. 
4.—MALAY SAMBAR (C. unicolor equinus). 
This local race is nearly as large as the Indian sambar, but the 
antlers are generally shorter and thicker, with the hind or inner tine 
of the terminal fork much shorter than the front one, and arising as a 
spur from the inner hind margin of the beam, of which the front tine 
forms the direct continuation ; the brow-tine is also generally longer. 
General colour of coat of adult darker, usually a light ring round the 
eyes, the ears smaller, often with a white margin, and the tail very 
bushy. Young spotted. The distributional area extends from Assam 
and Cachar through Burma and the Malay Peninsula to Siam, Hainan, 
Borneo, and perhaps Sumatra.
