WOOD-BROCKET (Mazama nemorivaga). 



The brockets are some of the smallest deer included in the genus 

 Mazanta, of which they are the typical representatives. They are 

 recognisable by their simple spike- like antlers, the tufted crown of 

 the head, and the radiation of the hair of the face from two whorls, 

 which causes that on the nose to be directed downwards. The 

 present species is distinguished by its small size (height at shoulder 

 about 19 inches), its pale pepper-and-salt brownish or grey colour, the 

 streak on the forehead, and the absence o( a gland and tuft on the hock.
