MAMMALIA. 251 



The synonyma of the species of Tragulus are exceedingly con- 

 fused. From the very imperfect manner in which they are de- 

 scribed and figured, it is impossible to identify with any of the 

 foregoing species, or separate from them as distinct, 



1. The Pelandoc figured in Marsden's Sumatra. 



2. The Pigmy Musk of Sumatra, figured in Mr. Griffith's edi- 

 tion of Cuvier's Animal Kingdom (v. 62. t.), on which Fischer 

 has established his Moschus Griffithsii (Syn. Mam. 414). 



The Moschus pygmceus is an Antelope ; the hinder part of the 

 tarsus being covered with hair ; the false hoofs very small and 

 rudimentary, and entirely hidden under the fur of the feet. 



Moschus Americanus and Moschus delicatulus, or Leverum 

 Musk of Shaw, are undoubtedly the fawn of Deer. It is curious 

 that Dr. Shaw quotes as a synonym of the last-named species 

 the figure of Seba, on which alone the Moschus Americanus is 

 founded, while, at the same time, he enumerates Moschus Ame- 

 ricanus r.s a distinct species. 



Tribe 5. CAMELINA. 



Cutting teeth eight above and below. Horns none. Hoofs 

 small, compressed; false hoofs none. 



Nose produced. Upper lip dependent, naked in front, and 

 entirely covered with hair. Horns or crumen none. Ears ob- 

 long, moderate. Cutting-teeth eight in each jaw ; canine teeth 

 in each jaw. Neck long. Legs rather long; thigh free by the 

 body (like those of men and apes). Toes two, elongate, callous 

 beneath. Horns small, compressed, somewhat claw-like. False 

 hoofs none.
