THE DEER. 



The Chevrotain. 



The family or group to which the Musk Deer belongs are called Moschidce, or the musk tribe. Setting 

 aside the Musk Deer, the other members of this group are called Chevrotains. The largest of the Chevro- 

 tains, called the Meminna, is only eighteen inches in length, and of proportionate stature. Its color is 

 olive grey, the sides being dappled with white, which is the color of the throat and under parts. The 

 Chevrotains are the lightest, smallest, and most delicately beautiful of all the ruminating animals. They 

 are found only in the East Indies.
