The skull of Dr. Falconer's Cashmeer Stag is 15 inches long; 

 the suborbital pit is oblong, triangular, and rather deep ; the 

 skull and horns are very like Mr. Hodgson's specimen of Cervus 

 affinis, but considerably smaller. 



Sir John MacNeil informs us, they are called by the Persians 

 Maral, or Gevezu, or Gookoohee, and are frequently noticed in their 

 literature. They are found in all the wooded mountain districts 

 of Persia, but apparently do not occur in the central parts of 

 the country, and rarely descend into the plains. During the 

 summer they are found in the highest wooded parts of the 

 mountains, and during the winter in the lower ravines near their 

 bases, where they are frequently tracked in the snow. 



The horns of the adult males closely resemble those of the 

 Red Deer of this country, insomuch that I doubt whether an un- 

 scientific observer could distinguish them, except by the superior 

 size of those of the Marti. P. Z. S. 11.
