C. FORMOSAN SIKA (Cervus [Pseudaxis] tagvanus). 



Nearly allied to the common sika, but distinctly spotted in winter, 

 when the coat retains more or less of the rufous summer-tinge. The 

 dark line down the middle of the back is very strongly marked, there 

 is a more distinct black bar above the white tail-patch, and the limbs 

 are shorter, and the body proportionately longer. The height at the 

 shoulder is about 2 feet 1 1 inches. This species is confined to the 

 mountains of the island of Formosa.
