CERVID^!. 107 



Cervus perrieri, Croizet and Jobert \ 

 Syn. Cervus issiodorensis, Pomel 2 (ex Croiz. & Job.). 



The antler is round, grooved, and has four tynes ; the pedicle is 

 short ; the burr stout, and set nearly at right angles to the beam ; 

 brow-tyne rising close to the burr ; beam nearly straight between 

 brow and second tyne. The species is of large size, and is con- 

 sidered to be allied to G. taevanus of Formosa.

34589. Lower part of a right antler provisionally referred to this 

 species; from the Upper Pliocene of Arde (Puy-de- 

 Dome), France. This specimen agrees with the one 

 figured by Boyd-Dawkins in the Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc. 

 vol. xxxiv. p. 408, fig. 3 (1878).

Cervus etueriarium, Croizet and Jobert 3 . 



Syn. Cervus rusoides, Pomel 4 . 



Cervus stylodus, Bravard, MS. 

 Cervus peyrollensis, Bravard, MS. 



This small form is closely allied to G. axis, and Boyd-Dawkins 

 (Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc. vol. xxxiv. p. 410) mentions that it 

 is only provisionally distinguished from G. pardinensis ; the 

 distinction of the latter from G. perrieri being also doubtful. The 

 antlers have a double curve, and three tynes ; the burr is at right 

 angles to the pedicle, the latter being short ; the brow-tyne is com- 

 pressed, and joins the beam at an acute angle ; the second tyne 

 rounded ; fork of crown webbed. 



Hob. France and Italy.
