Typical locality Bengal. 



No specimens from the typical locality are available, so 

 that the identification of the sub-Himalayan ratwa (from 

 which the definition is taken) with this race is provisional. 



Somewhat smaller than M. m. grandicornis, with slighter 

 antlers, and the general colour bright chestnut (cinnamon 

 rufous), scarcely paler on flanks, but distinctly so on under- 

 parts ; hairs pale at base ; length of upper series of cheek- 

 teeth about 2J inches ; basicranial length about 7 J inches. 



Some of the specimens of which the locality is unknown 

 may belong to one or other of the next two races.
