THE DEER. 





Hunters and Deer. 



• 



The Roebuck is the most light and handsome of all British Deer; and in some respects'it approaches the 

 antelopes, the ancients giving it and some of the species of that genus indiscriminately the name Dorcas, 

 that is bright eye. The Roebuck is pretty generally distributed, being found in all the temperate parts 

 of Europe and Asia, and even it is said in India, though there it has been confounded with some of the Indian 

 species which resemble it a good deal in the forms of their horns. Tfeere are colored varieties, one very red, 

 and another yellowish brown, and a third nearly black ; they all have the characteristic white disk, at least 

 in the winter, and the tad is never more than an inch in length.
