Genus Cervus, Linn. 
10. Cervus porcinus, Zimmerm. 
“The Cervus porcinus is not a rare animal, as has been supposed ; 
I have seen it in the Tarrai, at the foot of the Kemaon mountains, 
as well as in Assam, where it is the commonest species of the genus. 
I had in my collection a curious instance of an albino cf this spe- 
cies, for which I was indebted to Mr. Hugon of Assam. It was a 
female, every part of it white; but it was shot and prepared before I 
had an opportunity of examining the irides. It is an interesting 
proof that the change of colour in the fur of animals is not dependent 
on the cold of northern latitudes.” —MeClelland’s MS.

No. 788. ; 
“ A small portion of the scull of this animal has been procured. by

smaller kinds, but which I have not been able to procure.’— ec Clel-
