A Dead Stag. 



Deer have been in all ages of the world among the most interesting of its wild animals. They are 

 inhabitants of northern rather than of central regions, and are unknown, as natives, at the extreme south. 



The most prominent of this genus, in the opinion of hunters, at least, is the Stag, or Red Deer. It is a 

 native of Europe, where it has been prized for ages. It is also met with in Western Asia, and in some of the 

 mountainous islands of the Mediterranean, and on the slopes of the 

 mountains of Atlas in Northern Africa. 



The Fallow Deer is a native of the southern parts of Europe. The 

 male, which alone has horns, is commonly called a buck ; the female, a 

 doe ; and the young, a fawn. The usual color is brown.
