GIRAFFJD.E. 



Following the Muntjaks, have been placed those 

 extraordinary animals the Giraffes, from the circum- 

 stance that they possess the two bony elongations 

 from the skull, covered with hair, and which, in the 

 skeleton, appear like the bony core of horns, but 

 which in the living animal are only surmounted with 

 some stiff bristly hairs, standing erect.
