Inhabits Europe. 



Mr. Blyth described a variety as the Hungarian Stag (Mus. Asiat. 

 Soc. Beng. 1841, 750. t. 3. f. 1 1). 



The Deer which Buffon (H. N. vi. 95. t. 11) describes under the 

 name of the Cerf de Corse, has been regarded as a variety to be di- 

 stinguished by the smallness of its size, but Buffon observes, that he 

 believes the " size to depend on the scarcity of nourishment ; for 

 when moved to better pastures, in four years they became higher, 

 larger and stouter than the Common Stags."

Dark brown ; obscurely white spotted, with a very indistinct, 

 greenish brown, broad dorsal line, with a pale yellow spot extended
