Roe (C. Capreolus), with but two tines to its antlers; 

 whose conjugal attachment and constancy is said to 

 be equal to that of the famed Turtledove. It is still 

 numerous in Scotland. Some Roes in South Ame- 

 rica (C. Rufus, &c.) have the horns quite simple, 

 and destitute of any branches whatever. Finally, 

 leading from the Deer to the next genus, we have 



THE MUNTJAK (Cei-vus Muntjak) and the ROE (C. Capreolus). 



the Muntjaks of India (C. Muntjak\ with horns 

 elevated upon a hairy pedestal, and long and tusky 

 canines, with which they make a vigorous defence 

 against dogs when hunted. They much resemble 

 our Roe, but are rather larger.
