the fore portion of the mane above, dull cinereous, 

 the back intermixed with blackish-tipped hairs, which 

 form a distinct line on the neck near the head ; tail 

 pale reddish black at the tip. 



Dr Richardson's specimen stood about two feet 

 six inches high at the fore shoulder, and the horns 

 wanted the small basal process which existed in Say's 

 specimen. 



The other species alluded to is the Virginian deer, 

 Mazama Virginiana y H. Smith, and which that 

 author takes as typical of his sub-genus, having 

 " The light and elegant form ; a long tapering nose ; 

 the horns reclining on the head, and turned outwards, 

 and then with a very decided curve, pointing their 

 extremities forward ; the horns with a general ten- 

 dency to flatten ; a small suborbital pore like a fold, 

 and no canines."
