SCHOMBURGR’S DEER a) 
Skull and Antlers of Schomburgk’s Deer. From a specimen in the British Museum, 
presented by Rowland Ward. 
SCHOMBURGK’S DEER (Cervus [Rucervus] schomburgki). 
La-ong or La-on, Siamese. 
Allied to the preceding, but the antlers smooth, rounded, and 
more complex ; the brow-tine very long, frequently forked, and arising 
nearly at right angles to the beam, which is very short, compressed, 
and regularly forked, with each of the main branches about equally 
developed and again forking in a similar manner to terminate in long 
cylindrical tines. General colour, uniform dark brown. Height at 
shoulder about 3 feet 5 inches. 
Distribution.—Siamese territory east and west of the Menam River ; 
also Cambodia west of the Menam River south of Paknampho, 
and in swamps occasionally on the east ; in fact, chiefly the inland 
districts east of the Menam River in Northern Siam.
