Buifon observes, of the Cerf de Corse, which has been regarded 

 as a variety to be distinguished by the smallness of its size, that 

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

 for when moved to better pastures, in four years they become 

 higher, larger, and stouter than the Common Stag." Buffon,
