  Cranial 
  characters. 
  — 
  The 
  skull 
  has 
  very 
  nearly 
  the 
  same 
  conformation 
  

   as 
  that 
  of 
  D. 
  columhianiis, 
  the 
  lachrymal 
  fossa 
  being 
  deeper 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  

   Virginia 
  deer, 
  ])ut 
  shallower 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  mule 
  deer. 
  The 
  same 
  inter- 
  

   mediate 
  condition 
  obtains 
  with 
  respect 
  to 
  the 
  vomer, 
  in 
  the 
  relation- 
  

   ships 
  of 
  the 
  nasal 
  and 
  premaxillary 
  bones, 
  in 
  the 
  form 
  and 
  size 
  of 
  the 
  

   teeth; 
  and, 
  in 
  short, 
  the 
  whole 
  animal 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  compromise 
  

   between 
  the 
  characteristics 
  of 
  the 
  white 
  tailed 
  and 
  mule 
  deer.
