The figure of C. campestris in F. Cuvier, Mamm. Lithog., is evi- 

 dently a Cariacus, and not of this genus. The horns from Brazils 

 figured by Cuvier (Oss. Foss. iv. t. 3. f. 48) appear to belong to quite 

 a different species. It may be the variety of the Roebuck, figured 

 in Griffith, A. K. iv. t. 164. f. 6. 



14. Cariacus, Gray; Mazama, Sundev. ; Mazama, part. II. Smith. 

 Horns cylindrical, arched, with a central, internal snag, the tip 

 bent forwards, and with the lower branches on the hinder edge ; they 

 are covered with soft thin hair, have a moderate tail furnished with 

 long hair on the under side, a white anal disk, rather elongated, 

 large, rounded ears ; they generally have a tuft of white hair on the 

 outer side of the hind-leg, rather below the middle of the metacarpus, 

 but it is sometimes not to be seen ; the skull has a very small, shallow, 

 suborbital pit, and the nasal bone is broad and subtriangular behind ; 

 the tail is elongate, slender, pale, with the lower part dark, and reach- 

 ing nearly to the hocks in summer ; much shorter and broader, and 

 all dark olive in the winter. Confined to North America. 



* Hoofs narrow, elongate ; tail hairy beneath. 



1. Cariacus Virginianus. The American Deer. 



Bright fulvous in summer, greyer in winter ; tail fulvous above, 

 the tip black, beneath white ; carried erect when running ; nose 

 brown ; side of mouth white, with an oblique black band from the 

 nostrils ; hoofs narrow, elongate.
