Typical locality near Ningpo, Eastern China. 



Distinguished from all other members of the group by its 

 large size (shoulder-height from 24^ to, probably, 25 inches), 

 and the tuft of long hairs on the forehead and crown of the 

 head, which conceals the antler-pedicles and obscures the 

 markings of this area ; hair longer and coarser, ears shorter, 

 more rounded, and more thickly haired on backs, tail much 

 longer (9 inches), and lateral hoofs better developed than in 

 any of the chestnut-coloured species. General colour dark 

 sepia-brown, with a purple tinge, and the back finely 

 speckled with rufous ; head-crest, ears, forehead, and cheeks 

 bright orange-chestnut ; inner sides of thighs and sides and 

 lower surface of tail white ; upper surface of tail and a 

 stripe extending thence on to rump black.
