specimens. The neck is small, and the hair is short and thin, but the mark- 

 ings are practically the same as those found on northern specimens. This is 

 the first head that has been brought out of the Pinacate district, arid it may 

 also easily happen that it is the last. 



From C. WILIJAM BEEBE, New York : 



TRINIDAD WHITE-TAILED DEER, (Odocoileus nemorivega). Two skulls, with antlers. 



In view of the many American naturalists who have collected on the 

 Island of Trinidad for various museums, it seems rather strange that Mr. 

 Beebe's specimens should be the first of their kind ever brought to the United 

 States! The antlers are remarkable for their similarity in form to those of 

 the Tunkas Brocket, (Odocoileus rufmus], being only small, straight spikes of 

 bone, 3 inches in length, and destitute of branches. The skull of this species, 

 however, is very much larger than that of the Brocket. The heaviest of these 

 deer weighed, entire, 80 pounds, and the other 77. 



From DEXTER M. GLEASON, Woodford, Vermont: 



WHITE-TAILED DEER, (Odocoileus virginianus). First antlers. 



These horns are remarkable for their length, as "dag" antlers. The right 

 antler has been broken, but the left measures 11 J inches.
