Dr. Sundevall observes, <e The young of the typical Rusce are 

 not spotted." Pecora, 130. But according to the observations 

 and figures of Mr. Hodgson and other Indian zoologists, they are 

 pale spotted, but not so distinctly as several other genera of Deer. 

 Some few specimens retain the spots through life.
